By Rex A Parker PhD... with a nod to sci-fi author Vernor Vinge, here is my gallery of deep sky astrophotography. All originals from my home observatory in central New Jersey near the Delaware River (~40 deg N lat), or operated remotely from Chile at Observatorio El Sauce in the south Atacama high desert (lat~30 deg S, elev 1525m). The NJ telescope is an AGO-12.5"; the Chilean scope is a Planewave-24". See Equipment & Process section.
