Comet 17p Holmes Atik16ic Orion Optics SPX200 f5.6 This comet was very unexpected, because of it's sudden brightening during the later part of 2007. When it was already beyond the orbit of Saturn, Comet Holmes was expected to be around magnitude 16. Then over a period of several day's the comet brightened to naked eye visibility
M33 Atik 16ic SPX 200 f5.6 This is a one hour exposure comprising of 12x300 second exposures. Guiding was done by my WO ZS 66SD and PHD. The image was then stacked in DSS with post processing done in another program.

Copernicus 300mm f4 Newtonian with 4xImage mate barlow Atik 2-HS This image was taken during the May spring Bank Holiday 2006. The sky wasn't dark when I took this image. It was early evening with the Sun still above the horizon. The seeing at the time was excellent.
Gibbous Moon I took this one using a TeleVue Ranger 70mm ED telescope.The camera was my Atik 2-HS
Clavius This image was taken through my SPX 200 with 4X Imagemate Barlow and Atik 2-HS.I am particularly impressed with the way this has come out. It is difficult to tease out the small craters with in Clavius. The two other craters are Blancanus and Scheiner
