All my images were obtained using a Schmidt Cassegrain Catadioptric telescope. Emission and reflection nebula were taken using Astronomik CLS light pollution filters, and a 6.3 focal reducer, taken with an unmodified Canon 40D. The observatory, telescope, optics and cameras can be remotely controlled via computers from my home office if desired.
