Note: Most of the images on this page have been reduced slightly in size to reduce bandwidth. To view the images full size, I recommend visiting both Ed's and Al's great web sites. Resolution has not been reduced.

**CCD IMAGING BY ED GRAFTON**

NGC2022 In Orion Imaged 01/18/98 By Ed Grafton Houston, Texas C14 and ST-5	NGC2392, the Eskimo nebula. This exposure is a MRGB of 11, 7, 15, and 21 minutes respectively (Monochrome, red, green and blue.) An ST5 and a C14 operating @f/7 was used to capture this image on 1/09/98 by Ed Grafton

On Ed Grafton's Home Page, you will find many more great CCD images! I have placed more of Ed's images in Gallery 3.

The following 9 images are from Al Kelly in Texas. Visit his

website to view a beautiful collection of images and for

additional links to the masters of amateur CCD imaging.
