She looks like an angel. A messy little angel. I love how I could create this look so easily. Thanks, picnik.
Messier 56 is a globular cluster located near the Ring Nebula (M57) in the constellation Lyra. M56 is about 30,000 light years away, and is magnitude 8. A great object for Charles Messier to confuse with a comet.
I imaged M57 as a test for a whole bunch of mods and fixes to pretty much all of my gear. It seemed like everything decided to all go south at the same time, but it would appear that things are back on track, luckily.
By the way, I imaged this when the Moon was up. If you're not sure what to image when the Moon is out, try open clusters, globulars, and double stars.

Messier 9 or M9 (also designated NGC 6333) is a globular cluster in the constellation of Ophiuchus. It was discovered by Charles Messier in 1764.
M9 is one of the nearer globular clusters to the center of the Milky Way Galaxy with a distance of around 5,500 light-years. Its distance from Earth is 25,800 light-years.
The total luminosity of this cluster is around 120,000 times that of the Sun, the absolute magnitude being -8.04. The brightest individual stars in M9 are of apparent magnitude 13.5, making them visible in moderately sized telescopes. There have been 13 variable stars found in M9.
Nearby, at about 80' to the northeast of M9 is the dimmer globular cluster NGC 6356, while at about 80' to the southeast is the globular NGC 6342.
This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope shows the globular cluster Messier 9. Hubble’s image resolves stars right into the centre of the cluster, and clearly shows they have different colours. Redder colours signify lower surface temperatures, while blue stars are extremely hot.

7DOS, Week #1 - Messy Moments, Black and White Wednesday
After months of being absent I'm trying to participate in the group again - apologies that it's post and run at the moment.

21.02.2010 // Day 360
Dissertation Sunday.
Spent reading journal articles, writing and re-writing my methodology section, e-mailing my supervisor, and trying to think of the best way to write my data out (in a semi-coherent manner).
The current mess in my home studio. Did a quick session on Tuesday night before leaving for the concert and haven't gotten around to straightening up yet.
My time aboard the Rhum Runner is always fun. I often take the opportunity to add some beautiful images to my collection. This year was no exception. I managed to pull this one out from what was a quite messy scene.
I am really enjoying life with my this new camera.
My image of Messier 67 I took last night. Put a little extra effort into this one. I took 65 frames @ 60 secs exposure on each frame. Also did 40 dark frames right after with the same settings as the light frames. Took 50 flat frames this morning with a T-Shirt over the aperature of my scope and the scope up against my laptop which I had Notepad open. Then I did 70 bias frames, which you just set the fastest exposure your camera can shoot at and snap pics with the dust cover on the camera. I'm guessing that's why this one has a smoother looking background than my other pics. Then load them all into Deep Sky Stacker and let it stack them. Then bring the stacked pic into PixInsight and adjusted the curves and color saturation and used a noise reduction filter on it.
This one is located just below and a little south of the Beehive Cluster which I imaged the other night.
This is a globular cluster of stars in the constellation of Hercules. M13, also known as the Great Globular Cluster in Hercules, is made up of about 300,000 stars. M13 was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714, and catalogued by Charles Messier on June 1, 1764.
I shot this thru a Vixen ED103S (4")Apochromatic Refractor Telescope.
