Gallery of galaxies imaged in the red to near-infrared

These images were taken in central Tokyo on SQM 18.1. They were imaged using monochrome CMOS imagers with red to near-infrared pass filters, as described on this site.

All images have been resized to fit within 1600 x 1200 pixels to reduce load. Note that the imaging conditions are roughly described along with the title of each image.

Images taken by the QHY5III462C with low cost equipments

This chapter presents images captured using low-cost, but extremely infrared-sensitive color sensors rather than monochrome sensors. Click here for the equipment configuration. The equipment configuration is this for a D130mm Newtonian and this for a 50mm refractor.
