Detailed shot of the Gran Telscopio Canarias as it is aligned on it's vertical axis to zenith inside the massive dome (www.flickr.com/photos/130710491@N03/22898062905/)
An extensive GoPro video of the GTC I posted two years prior to this visit can be viewed at the following link: vimeo.com/album/2498182/video/73063516
A giant among telescopes, the Gran Telescopio CANARIAS (GTC) at 2400m altitude is currently the largest and one of the most advanced optical and infra-red telescopes in the world. It's primary mirror consists of 36 individual hexagonal segments that together act as a single mirror. The light collecting mirror surface area of GTC is equivalent to that of a telescope with a 10.4m diameter single monolithic mirror. More about the GTC: www.gtc.iac.es/gtc/gtc.php

One of my first successful attempts at prime focus astrophotography using my Canon 750d and Celestron Astromaster 130eq. I also used a Skytech CLS clip filter as I live on the edge of London. The shot consists of 92x 15 second lights at ISO3200 and 20x each of darks, flats and bias frames.
Yep, an actual close up moon shot with a lowly HTC Desire 610 - and WITHOUT the aid of a digital zoom...
...but WITH the aid of a Celestron Astromaster 130eq and a moon filter though.
Couldn't believe the clairity of this - just held the camera phone to the eyepiece and voila - one big momma of a zoom lens!

A shot from a day to night transition time-lapse from the salt ponds on La Palma in the Canaries (time-lapse still a work in progress).

Our newest investment... Simon is currently reading the manual, looking forward to getting this bad boy out - when the clouds start to disperse - always the way with a new purchase of equipment ;0)
Deneb is a first-magnitude star in the constellation of Cygnus, the swan. Deneb is one of the vertices of the asterism known as the Summer Triangle and the "head" of the Northern Cross. It is the brightest star in Cygnus and the 19th brightest star in the night sky, with an average apparent magnitude of +1.25. A blue-white supergiant, Deneb rivals Rigel as the most luminous first magnitude star. However, its distance, and hence luminosity, is poorly known; its luminosity is somewhere between 55,000 and 196,000 times that of the Sun.
Deneb is believed to be around 2, 612 light years away.
The massive Gran Telescopio Canarias dome and building on the island of La Palma (Canary Islands) from an architectural perspective. This telescope is part of a cluster of fifteen at the Observatorio Roque de los Muchachos (alt. 2400m).

Please note:
Visits to the observatory are limited, an application must be submitted online well in advance ... and approval / admission is not guaranteed into any facility (refer to iac.es/eno.php?op1=2&lang=en). It is a very long drive from sea level at Santa Cruz, with winding, hairpin switchbacks. The road can be treacherous, is generally in bad shape and falling rocks are all to common. No gas or water are available, oxygen level is approx. 15 - 25 % less and UV exposure is harsh.

this one worked out pretty well!
too windy and such for much success at the deeper space objects, but not bad. I'm figuring out the various tools, and I can see where I'm heading.
this one: a canon t1i hung off a 1000mm x 90mm aperture telescope with no eyepiece. about 1/160 second exposure, and iso 200. cropped about half the frame.
Another re-process of existing data brought on by the clouds! This image is very noisy around the galaxy, but is definitely more colourful than my first attempt.

Taken with Canon T3i/600D + Celestron Astromaster 130Eq using Celestron 2X barlow and T adapter. Captured using 1080p video with 3x magnification. ~250 frames stacked using Registax 6.
My first attempt at astro-photography. Using my Celestron Astromaster 130. Made up of two stacked images.
My first shot using the 2nd hand telescope I picked up today (a $150 bargain). Done by holding the camera to the eye piece and trying to dodge the artifacts of the center obstruction (it's a newtonian telescope).
I realize now why people tend to use refracting telescopes, haha :O)
After picking up the telescope had to do some work first, it had been under the patronage of some wild kids. Hence I had to take the one remaining eye piece apart and put it back together properly, collimate the optics, make a counterweight as one was missing and clean the whole lot, phew ! Now coming to grips with an equatorial mount and polar alignment which is easier than I first thought. Ok, rant off... want to go out and see what Orion has to offer now that it's a bit darker.

My montage of the January 21st 2019 Lunar Eclipse. Luckily the clouds cleared out just in time for the start of the show... These were taken through a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ with a canon 80D at prime focus.
