Polish Telescope at LAS CAMPANAS (Chile)

Images:

 Images were taken  in three filters: R, V, B and then processed using graphics software.
All were obtained during bad weather conditions (some clouds, bad seeing, bright moon), so please excuse its quality. ;-)

zoom:
Great Mars Opposition.
Visible features: Sinus Meridani, Mare Ionium, Mare Erythraeum, Mare Acidalium, south ice cap and two bluish CO2 clouds on the west and near the north pole.
Images taken by Michal Szymanski on 27 August 2003. True color composition made by Jakub Skowron.
Jupiter and its moon
Images taken around every 3 minutes. Note clearly visible proper motions of the Jupiter and the moon in respect to the sky.

NGC 5128 Centaurus A
25th May 2006
NGC 5128 Centaurus A - big mosaic (size 1767x3261 pixels)
Note young blue stars on the edges of the black dusty stripe. 25th May 2006
NGC 5128 Centaurus A - central part

Abell 3537 Galaxy Cluster - part of chip 2
Flatfielded and cleaned image. 1st June 2006, exposure times 200-300s (no autoguiding). Images taken during heavy clouds.
Three galaxies visible: bright elliptical, nice bared spiral and faint one (lenticular/spiral?) near elliptical.
Abell 3537 Galaxy Cluster - part of chip 3
Flatfielded and cleaned image. 1st June 2006, exposure times 200-300s (no autoguiding). Images taken during heavy clouds.
Also three galaxies visible, two edge-on spirals(?). The brightest is probably elliptical. Bright object within this galaxy is a foreground star, not supernova (identified on HST image).
NGC3293 - open cluster. Exposure time 15s. Note the seeing was really bad (about 2.5 arcsec=10 pix), thus such large stars' images. 13.05.2007.
NGC4755 (Jewell Box) - open cluster. Exposure time 10s. Seeing was still bad. 13.05.2007.
NGC5139 - Omega Centauri - globular cluster (central part). Exposure time 30s. 13.05.2007.



Neptune and its moon Triton (in upper right corner). Exposure times: filter B:5s, V:2s, R:3s. 17.10.2007.
