This is my Celstron C90 MAK on the Celestron Tripod, with an Olympus TG-2 digital camera being held by the Celestron holder. I wanted to experiment with astro-photography and this was an inexpensive (relatively) way to get in. The telescope, tripod, and camera holder were about $300 all in. Seems to do a pretty good job right off the bat, however I expect things to improve as I work out the details in the set-up.
Captured this before the clouds rolled in tonight. My first Saturn shot with my ZWO ASI120MC Camera. I'd forgotten to select the color option on some new capture software, but I'll remember next time.

The Pinwheel Galaxy, also known as Messier 101 (M101), is one of the best known spiral galaxies in the night sky.
M101 is a grand design spiral galaxy (a spiral galaxy with prominent and well-defined spiral arms) located in the constellation Ursa Major, the Great Bear. It is about 170,000 light years in diameter, which makes it roughly 70 percent larger than our galaxy, the Milky Way.
It is approximately 20.9 million light years distant from Earth, which means that we are seeing it as it was about 20.9 million years ago.

Imaging the night sky - while imaging the night sky! This shot was taken with a Canon 5DMiii. 30sec exposure iso 800. The Canon on the Celestron telescope was busy imaging the Carina Nebula you'll find in my photo stream
Taken with an unmodded Canon 600D through a Celestron NexStar 127SLT mounted on a Celestron CG-5 AS-GT. 20 shots, 15 seconds each, with an Astronomik EOS-Clip CLS filter. Processed with DeepSkyStacker, Nebulosity, PhotoMatix Pro, HLVG filter and Noel Carboni's Astronomy Tools for Photoshop Elements 9.
One shot photo taken in Blackheath common in London during a very brief window when Saturn was in close conjunction with the moon after Sunset before the Moon and Saturn themselves set an hour later.
Saturn is on the right hand side (click to view full screen to see the rings).
I couldn't get a sharper capture due to the low altitude and after sunset glow but was still a treat to enjoy the conjunction with my 8" Cassegrain telescope using a low wide field power eyepiece to fit both Moon and Saturn in the view. A rare treat I haven't witnessed before. I didnt expect much due to the low altitude. but surprisingly looked great in the eyepiece. With less time remainiing before they set, I quickly swapped the eyepiece out with my Canon 650D dslr camera and took multiple shots, out of which this one seems to be the better.

Few more masks, a bit more bias to Sii, I think I like this the best so far. I kind of like the more pastel feel to this more than the previous attemps.
