Fuzzy from hand holding the point and shoot to the eyepiece of our telescope, but great views this morning, including of the Orion Nebula, which I will try to photograph soon.

My first attempt at taking a monochrome with DMK. First shot with no previous practice doesnt seem that bad. The interesting thing is that if I increase contrast you might see one of Jupiter's moons on the upper right angle of the photo. Taken using Imaging Source DMK on a Celestron C11 SCT with Ultima Barlow. The obvious contrast is huge compared with a color camera.
Gregg is287 meters from the camera. Even with the zoom lens he is almost too far away to see. Use Flickr to see the full size image -- you can see Gregg at the 3rd speed bump.
In space Uranus is 2.8 billion kilometers from the Sun.
I found this old photo from 2001. C14 at prime focus, frame grabs from video. The next day things got a lot more complicated.
Venus will always remain a crescent to Earth as it is closer to the Sun. Due to the high reflection of the high clouds on its atmosphere, you see it as the brightest object in the sky after the Moon and the Sun. #venus #solarsystem #telescope #planets
Jupiter with a very pale Great Red spot taken on 4th March 2013 at 10pm. Using Olympus FE-4030 compact digital camera in video mode, attached to my 8" reflector telescope. Video is 120 seconds at 30fps and used best 25% of frames. Frames aligned and stacked using Registax6.
Distances are vast in the universe and even in our solar system. Depending on the objects being measured, we use astronomical units, parsecs, or lightyears to describe the distances.

While there may be some debate about Pluto's planetary status, Athan is convinced it is still a planet. This is the picture he drew.
Image taken with 12.5" F/4.8 Newtonian and 1.8X barlow. Video frames stacked and processed with RegiStax.
University of Colorado, Boulder.
Earth is still our home although we move around through our lives... I've just settled down in South Carolina after a long (1650miles) drive.
It's one of the planet plates of our solar system located over the Boulder campus. Each plates are located in the carefully measured locations from the sun placed in front of the planetarium.

Taken at 21:03:41 in Edinburgh with a Canon 550D camera on movie mode. With my non tracking 8" dob and hyperion zoom. 300 or so frames stacked in registax.
The GRS is just peeping round the corner on the bottom left.
While this isn't the greatest, I'm encouraged that I was able to do this well with the equipment I do have. I'm also continuing to learn the entire processing workflow. More to come...

Celestron seems to be closing out their Explorascope line of small starter telescopes. Explorascope 80s can be had on Amazon for $35, and I had a gift card so I got one. The images don't really compare to those I get with the Astroscan or the XT6, but that's to be expected--it's an 80mm scope going up against 105mm and 150mm scopes. For what it is, it's a decent little instrument.
Taken by afocal projection with a Celestron Explorascope 80, a 32mm Sirius Plossl eyepiece, and a Nikon Coolpix 4500.
