PhotographerDerek SantiagoLocationMorristown, NJDate9/2/07 and 9/3/07EquipmentDSI Pro II on 10"LX200R at f/3.3. Guided with DSI II on Orion ED80. Schuler narrowband filters.DescriptionThis closeup of NGC 281, an emmission nebula in Cassiopeia also known as the PacMan nebula, was taken over 2 moonlit nights using narrowband filters. The Bok globules are immense molecular clouds which absorb light from the main nebula and can be star forming. The total exposure time was 7 hours, 3 hours of Ha and 4 hours of OIII with 5.5 minute subexposures. |

PhotographerBryant HertelLocationFarpoint ObservatoryDateJuly 6, 2007 23:30EquipmentTelescope: Clyde Tombaugh 27" telescope at Farpoint Observatory Eskridge, KS. Camera: SBIG 1001-E using a B-G-R filter wheel assembly with a resolution of 1024x1024 (camera is mounted in the heart of the telescope)DescriptionThis is only my second attempt at deep space imagery utilizing the Clyde Tombaugh telescope at Farpoint Observatory. The detail is incredible as you can clearly make out the Pillars Of Creation. |

PhotographerHunter WilsonLocationLexington, OhioDateAugust 14, 2007EquipmentCanon 350D Hap Griffin Baader Mod Astronomik CLS Filter Orion ED80 with WO 0.8 reducer/flattener Orion ST80 guidescope with Meade DSI Pro Orion Atlas mount PHD Guiding and EQMOD softwareDescriptionThe first image taken with my new modded 350D. Seeing was VERY poor with 95% humidity and water dripping off the telescopes. A fogbank rolled in at about 3:30 am - imaging continued till about 4:15. I chose this object as a first test for the new camera because of it's low surface brightness and high proportion of H-Alpha for the modded camera. |
