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.

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.

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.

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.

A Gas Giant

Image made with 12.5" F/4.8 Newtonian and 1.8X barlow. Reprocessed and enlarged 200% from original.

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.

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.

Athan holds up the planet Earth in this photograph.

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...

Athan shows the planet Mercury in this photograph. It is one that I drew.

Elysium Mons is at upper left, but doesn't usually stand out that much unless topped with orographic cloud, like in the 2016 apparition. At right, some raised escarpments are casting shadows before sunset.

 

Mars was magnitude -1.41 with angular diameter of 16.5", and was 88.4% illuminated.
