Astronomy Pictures

Here are some pictures I've taken with various telescopes throughout my career. Some of them were taken at Kitt Peak and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (need links) for research purposes while others were taken at the Stanford Student Observatory (need links) purely for fun. To download the full-resolution version, click on the link in the "Object" field. You may notice some strange artifacts in the images taken with the H1RG, H2RG, and H4RG HyViSI detectors. To get an explanation of what's going on there, see my thesis.
