Read about how these images were taken from 5 fathoms underwater.

We collected color data (LRGB = luminance-clear filter, red-R, green-G and blue-B filters) for some objects so they took a bigger block of time. For example, we worked on the Orion Nebula for about an hour since we collected LRGB data at both 1 minute exposures and 5 minute exposures. Most shots were 5 minutes exposures with the camera binned 2×2 (medium resolution) all taken with the 14.5-inch f/9 Ritchey-Chrétien telescope and Apogee U16M CCD Camera at -20C. at Chiefland, Florida.
