Neptune taken by Cassandra Bilonta (c/o 2006) in November 2004 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The arrowed object is Neptune's moon, Triton. Click on the image to see it without the arrow.
NGC 2207 and IC2163 taken by Celia Pazos (c/o 2006) on 12 April 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.  Celia processed and stacked six images of these interacting galaxies using CCDSoft ® image processing software.
The barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365 imaged by Chris Lopez (c/o 2005) on 8 March 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Chris processed and stacked eleven images of this galaxy using CCDSoft ® image processing software.
The spiral galaxy NGC 4945 imaged by Hannah Potter (c/o 2006) on 28 March and 14 April 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Hannah processed and stacked ten images of this edge on spiral using CCDSoft ® image processing software. Supernova 2005af is just visible (arrowed) at the bottom of the image.  The supernova was discovered on 8 February 2005 by CEAMIG/REA Supernovae Search (Brazil) and reached magnitude 12.8.  Click on the image to see the galaxy without the arrow.
NGC 2997 taken by Mark Kay (c/o 2007) on 12 April 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. Mark processed and stacked six images of this face on grand design spiral using CCDSoft ® image processing software.

NGC 7293, the Helix Nebula in Aquarius, taken by Christa Argueta (c/o 2006) on 7 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. 
M2, a bright globular cluster in Aquarius, taken by Berenice Lopez (c/o 2006) on 8 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The bright streak was caused by a satellite passing through the field of view at the time Berenice took her exposure.
NGC 55, a bright spiral galaxy in Sculptor, taken by Cyril Macapagal (c/o 2006) on 8 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. 
NGC 253, the Sculptor Galaxy, taken by Kassandra Carrithers (c/o 2007) on 7 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. 
NGC 1232, a spiral galaxy in Eridanus, taken by Kylie Kenner (c/o 2007) on 9 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. This galaxy may be how our own Milky Way galaxy might look if viewed from 70 million light years. 
NGC 2070, the Tarantula Nebula in Dorado, taken by Maria Del Fierro (c/o 2006) on 8 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. This nebula is a star forming region in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of our own Milky Way galaxy.
NGC 1097, a barred spiral galaxy in Fornax, taken by Abraham Islas (c/o 2009) on 9 November 2005 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. 
NGC 1365, in Fornax, taken by Berenice Lopez (c/o 2006) on 2 March 2006 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. 
M104, the Sombrero Galaxy in Virgo, taken by Roberto Jimenez (c/o 2006) on 18 April 2006 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. 
M83, in Virgo, taken by Keyur Ajmera (c/o 2008) on 17 April 2006 using the 14 inch TIE South telescope at Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.
