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.

Using my awesome Cosmic Explorer and experimenting with long shutter speeds and my cell phone as the light source.
Orion introduced a 50mm guide scope with a FL of about 160mm. I used it for this photo, not too bad for a really fast 50mm. About 900 video frames stacked and processed with RegiStax.
seeing through Earth's atmosphere is like being at the bottom of a pool looking at something above the water. The light gets refracted as it hits the different layers of atmosphere.
we also had some wind making the scope shake once or twice during the video
Birthday cake for a friend. Inspired by all the other planets cakes that are on flickr. :-)
Inside: chocolate cake, decorations made of marzipan. and lots of sugar colouring. *lol*
Took me ages to prepare but I'm pleased with the final result.
Jupiter with the moon Io popping out from the left side. I watched as Io first appeared from behind it.

NASA's Mars Perseverance rover acquired this image using its SHERLOC WATSON camera, located on the turret at the end of the rover's robotic arm.
This image was acquired on April 12, 2025 (Sol 1473) at the local mean solar time of 20:29:26.

These four photos were candidates for the 2008 Skepchick Calendars. #1 was the winner, and is September 2009's image. (Get your calendars at skepchick.org)
Poor seeing, and a little too early for Jupiter, but I wanted to get images of both planets using the same equipment. Uranus looks pretty small next to Jupiter.
