To do it yourself, go to the website, click through to the guest observatory. Choose which of the preset shots you'd like to see and within a day or two they'll send you a link to your image online. Hopefully you'll have a clear day and won't end up with nice closeups of cloud cover.
This is the Messier Nebula |

The coloring is done with the image processing software available at their same site. The best thing about it is each user owns their own images, and therefore, I can post it here.
This is the Irregular Galaxy |

And lastly,
Our Moon
these images were all taken September 2007 |
