| Date/Location Notes |
28 October 2022 - Las Cruces, NM Published in Astronomical League's quarterly Reflector Magazine, Mar 2023 issue, pg 26 (screenshot). Published in Amateur Astronomy Magazine, Spring 2023. This image is LRGB. Star cluster NGC 206 (center) is located in the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 Million light years away (and can be seen at the center of this image). Some of the blue stars evident there are part of this cluster, and so you are looking at individual stars that are in a galaxy outside of our own Milky Way. Other stars around the image are foreground stars. |
