Hi all,

Here's a collage of some common Deep Sky Objects and the Moon. All were taken using my Canon EOS 550D at prime focus of a 12" Goto Dobsonian and all are at the same scale.

I thought it might be interesting to see just how large these objects appear when compared to the Moon.

Clockwise from top left:
Centaurus A galaxy, Keyhole Nebula in Carina, M22 globular cluster, Orion Nebula, Lagoon Nebula, Trifid Nebula, Omega Centauri globular cluster.


Exposures ranged from 1/500sec to 10 seconds.

Thanks for looking,

Tom
