My first observation and sketch. I've overlaid my sketch on a screenshot from Stellarium software which I generated afterwards to check against - not bad results considering it was my first effort and was done through a low end telescope (Celestron Astromaster 70). Now ... how much will I have to spend to get the telescope that'll let me see it like the screenshot - rather than the tiny little blurry blob I actually saw through the borrowed 80 quid telescope I used tonight? =)
And before anybody asks ... no, I didn't know which moon was which when I was making the sketch - I labelled them after I'd seen what was where on Stellarium ;)
Jupiter and the Galilean Moons, taken through a Celestron AstroMaster 90 and cropped from 18MP to 1MP.
The moons are a bit faint, indeed one of them isn't really visible at all, but all four were there on the night. This is one of my first through-telescope planet shots, so I'm still learning the right techniques.
Inset is 1000mm Telescope and 20mm eyepiece means 50x magnification. Taken afocally with my Blackberry Bold and Celestron Astromaster 114 Newtonian reflector.
This photo of 23. Aug. 2013, taken at 23:49 o’clock shows my Celestron AstroMaster 90 AZ refractor telescope at our observation point in the fields west of Rösberg. Anke is sleeping in our camping chairs. The stars in the centre of the picture belong to Boötes (the “herdsman”). It contains the fourth brightest star in the night sky, Arcturus, which however is concealed by the chair. On the right of Boötes the tail-stars of the Ursa Major (the “Larger Bear”) reach into the pictures. On the left one can see some stars of the Corona Borealis and of Herkules. I suppose that the lonesome star on the lower right belongs to the hunting dogs (“Canes Venatici”). (© Nicolas von Kospoth)

Es lo mejor que se pudo ver, pues llegamos al tope del enfoque. ¿Alguien sabe cómo podemos acercar más el CCD de la cámara?
This is the best thing we saw, because we arrived at the bottom of the focus barrel. Is there a way to get nearer the camera's CCD?
Am I doing something wrong? Is there something wrong with the telescope?
I'd really apreciate your advice.
Two sketches of comet C/2014 E2 (Jacques) on the night of 23-24 August 2014. The comet was in the constellation of Cassiopeia and easily visible using 8x40 binoculars. I sketched it using a 130mm reflector with 32mm and 13mm Plössl eyepieces. The comet appeared slightly elongated but I could not see a tail. The coma appeared a light green colour.
Heres hoping to some clear sky soon, Skywatcher Explorer 8" with a Celestron Astromaster 70 attached as a guide scope. I have no idea if this is going to work out.
Taken 20th September with a Canon 40D attached to a T adapter on a Celestron Astromaster 130EQ. Eyepiece used was a 20mm Celestron. Kit piece. Hasn't been stacked.
Júpiter es el planeta más grande del sistema solar y el quinto en orden de lejanía al Sol. Es un gigante gaseoso que forma parte de los denominados planetas exteriores. Recibe su nombre del dios romano Júpiter (Zeus en la mitología griega). Es uno de los objetos naturales más brillantes en un cielo nocturno despejado, superado solo por la Luna, Venus y algunas veces Marte.
Se trata del planeta que ofrece un mayor brillo a lo largo del año dependiendo de su fase. Es, además, después del Sol, el mayor cuerpo celeste del sistema solar, con una masa casi dos veces y media de la de los demás planetas juntos (con una masa 318 veces mayor que la de la Tierra y tres veces mayor que la de Saturno, además de ser, en cuanto a volumen, 1321 veces más grande que la Tierra). También es el planeta más antiguo del sistema solar, siendo incluso más antiguo que el Sol; este descubrimiento fue realizado por investigadores de la universidad de Münster en Alemania.
Júpiter es un cuerpo masivo gaseoso, formado principalmente por hidrógeno y helio, carente de una superficie interior definida. Entre los detalles atmosféricos es notable la Gran Mancha Roja (un enorme anticiclón situado en las latitudes tropicales del hemisferio sur), la estructura de nubes en bandas oscuras y zonas brillantes, y la dinámica atmosférica global determinada por intensos vientos zonales alternantes en latitud y con velocidades de hasta 140 m/s (504 km/h).

A photo taken on my Celestron Astromaster 130 by an £8 webcam I cut apart and glued an old film cannister to!
This photo of 24. Aug. 2013, taken at 00:03 o’clock shows my Celestron AstroMaster 90 AZ refractor telescope at our observation point in the fields west of Rösberg. One can see the three main stars of the Aries constellation of the left. Somewhat above the moon is Algenib (88-Gamma Pegasi) of the Pegasus constellation. Further, a few weak stars of the Pisces constellation (right fish) project their weak light despite the bright moon. Finally, Alpha Trianguli of the Triangulum constellation can be spotted.

Celestron Astromaster 114EQ telescope with 10mm Celestron eyepiece. Camera: Basic Pentax SR Compact on standard settings.
Processed within an inch of its life, this montage of 2 shots I took on saturday night one to expose the moons and one on Jupiter using Nikon d700 with Celestron Astromaster 130 & x2 Barlow. Moons are Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto found rather fancy javascript program that tells you what order moons are in at any given date and time. - see link www.skyandtelescope.com/observing/objects/javascript/jupi...

A picture of Errol, a small village in the Carse of Gowrie. Why's it geeky? Because it was taken from 10 miles away!!! (Celestron AstroMaster 130+FujiFim JV250)
