There are larger versions of all the images available. Clicking on the thumbnails will either load a larger version, or an additional page with a larger image and more text. These look best in 16-bit color (or higher)!

Comet Hyakutake
March 22, 1996 Molokai Lookout, Oahu, Hawaii
30 second exposure on Kodak Royal Gold 1000 using a 55mm f/1.8 Vivitar lens. No tracking. Post-processed with Photoshop 3.0.
Comet Hyakutake
March 24, 1996 Molokai Lookout, Oahu, Hawaii
45 second exposure on Kodak Royal Gold 1000 using a 135mm f/2.2 Soligor lens. No tracking. Post-processed with Photoshop 3.0.
Comet Hale-Bopp

Near-IR 3-color image of Jupiter
Saturn in the Near-IR!
Near-IR 3-color image of Uranus. 5 minutes of exposure time on the UH 2.2m. Note the three moons. Since the three colors are taken at different times, you can see the orbital motion as they revolve around Uranus.
And finally, Neptune in the Near-IR. Note the cloud bands and hot spots.
Diffraction-Limited PSF in the Near-IR
An amazing feat now acheivable through adaptive optics!
T Tauri at 1.6um (FeII).
This data was taken on the CFHT 3.6m on Mauna Kea using the University of Hawaii Adaptive Optics System. The two components are separated by about 0.7", and the acheived resolution is about 0.08", which is about 10x better than can normally be done from the ground, and 3x better than HST/NICMOS.
The Large Magellanic Cloud at 12, 25, and 60 microns. IRAS data processed with the HIRES algorithm.

Finally, here's why you should deconvolve all of your data.
