Hi, I'm Jim Burnell, an avid amateur astronomer and telescope maker. I am a co-author of The Handbook of Astronomical Image Processing and the Astronomical Image Processing for Windows software package. I'm a retired electrical engineer and engineering manager now living on the western slope of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

CCD Images Page

A collection of images of astronomical objects. The images were acquired using a variety of telescopes and CCD cameras, including HX916 and SXV-H9 CCD cameras manufactured by Starlight Xpress, and an STL11000M CCD camera, manufactured by SBIG. Many of the images were taken using TV-60is, NP101 and NP127is telescopes manufactured by TeleVue Optics.

These images have not been edited using programs such as Photoshop, but have been completely processed, from end-to-end, exclusively using AIP4Win.

The Messier Objects - CCD album

A collection of CCD images of the Messier Objects. I have always liked the Sky & Telescope Messier Objects poster, so I decided to shoot one of my own. I finally finished it in late May of 2004. I have been updating this page over time as I take better images.

The Edward J. Rowe Observatory

This observatory, back in Warwick, NY, was where I shot most of my CCD images.
