  For the first time ever I was able see a real live rocket launch. On March 6th, 23h50 local time, a Falcon 9 loaded with a Dragon spacecraft was launched from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral. I observed the launch from Titusville at the Indian river, about 21km from complex 40. Even at this distance the launch was seen perfectly and very bright. The sound of the rocket launch came much later about 1 minute after T-zero.

First Stage Booster landing at Landing Zone 1 'SLC 13'

The first stage booster came back and landed at Space Launch Complex 13, Landing Zone 1. This was seen aswell very easy and very bringt. One day later I could see the landed booster from Space Launch Complex 14.

M104 with COAST telescope

The Sombrero Galaxy M104 taken with the COAST telescope in Tenerife. The Fits files are downloaded and converted to Tiff files. Final editing with CS4.

M17 Swan Nebula

M17 or Swan Nebula was captured using the COAST telescope on Tenerife. Previous I edited the pictures using webeditor and downloaded the file in PNG format. Final editing was done using CS4 but it was difficult to allign the pixels from the different filter pictures. As the pictures are also available as Fits files I downloaded these to my pc and transformed the format to Tiff using Fits Liberator : see this link. 
Once the tiff files saved, CS4 was used to allign and to edit the picture. Below the result; personally I'm very pleased with it.
