PhotographerBruce KarbalLocationFort Sheridan, IllinoisDateJune 30 2006 11:30 PMEquipmentPentax 125 SDP with dedicated reducer, Finger Lakes Proline 16803 CCD cam Finger Lakes CFW 4-5 50 mm square filter wheel, Finger Lakes 7 nm HA filter 50 mm square sizedThe FLI proline was operating at a 50 degree delta temp all night...with no problemDescriptionThis was my first light shot with a new pentax 125 SDP I had the good fortune of finding the dedicated reducer for this scope..which provides a blazing fast F 4.9 with an 88mm image circle. whats even more astounding, this image was taken in a park, 12 miles north of the Chicago downtown loop, with a full moon out, some high, thin Cirrus clouds passing through. bruce karbal |

PhotographerMark SiboleLocationFife Lake MiDateJune 5 2007EquipmentMeade DSI PRO II 150 mm Camera lens piggybacked on a Meade LX200R 10 inchDescriptionThis is a very nice area in Cygnus not imaged very much. It contains dust lanes,Reflection nebula and emission nebula. This has 120 minutes of Ha data and 60 minutes per color channel. |

PhotographerJohn L. GrahamLocationKettering. OhioDate6/10/07 6h UTEquipmentMeade DSI Pro on an Orion StarBlast (imaging version), Meade DSI on a second Orion StarBlast (original version)DescriptionThis image of M20 was taken with a DSI Pro (L:59x30sec) at the prime focus of an Orion StarBlast (imaging version) and a DSI (RGB:19x60sec) at the prime focus of second StarBlast (original version) mounted side-by-side on a Meade LXD75. The source images were saved as FITS3P combined offline in drizzle. Drizzle was also used to convert the FITS3P from the DSI to a BMP. The LRGB was then assembled in Photoshop. |

PhotographerGiovanni BenintendeLocationNebrodi Mounts, ItalyDate10-11 May 2007EquipmentTakahashi FSQ-106 / Finger Lakes ProLine 16803 / Astro-Physics 1200 GTO.DescriptionThe image represents the best multi-color area of the sky. RGB 100:100:100. Syntetic luminance by sum of RGB, plus 60 minutes of h-alpha luminance for emphasizing some of hidrogen excited nebulae. |

PhotographerGiovanni BenintendeLocationNebrodi Mounts, ItalyDate10-11-19 May 2007EquipmentTakahashi BRC-250 / Takahashi FSQ-106 / Finger Lakes ProLine 16803 / AstroPhysics 1200 GTODescriptionThis image remembers me the flight of a medieval dragons air battle. Actually it represents the dust & gas nebular complex in the sky area centered between Antares and Rho Ophiuchi, named NGC 4603 and the central brighter VdB 105. Luminance 180 minutes acquired with BRC-250, RGB is a detail of a previous 300 minutes RGB image, took with FSQ-106 |

PhotographerMark SiboleLocationfife Lake Mi.DateMay 9, 2007EquipmentMeade 80 mm APO Meade DSI PRO IIDescriptionThis is a LRGB image of NGC 4038 It has 128 minutes of Luminance data and 60 minutes per color channel. This target sits low in my horizon so it tool a few good nights to capture all of the required data. |

PhotographerMark SiboleLocationFife Lake Mi.DateMay 12, 2007EquipmentMeade 80 mm APO and Meade DSI C II piggybacked on a Meade LX200R 10 inch SCT.DescriptionThis is a very nice area in the Come Berenecies It feaures NGC 4725 ,NGC 4712 NGC 4747 and a few dimmer galaxys. This was captured using 188 minutes of luminance information and 60 minutes per color channel. Bigger image can be seen here. http://astronomy.qteaser.com/images/NGC4725.jpg |

PhotographerJohn L. GrahamLocationKettering, OhioDate4/22/07 4h UTEquipmentTwin Meade 60AZ-T refractors, Meade DSI and DSI Pro, LXD75 mountDescriptionThis moderately wide field image of M104 was taken using a DSI Pro (L:100x30sec) and a DSI (RGB:35x60sec) fitted with twin Meade 60AZ-T refractors (60mm f/5.8 table-top telescopes) driven by an LXD75. The source images were saved as FITS3P combined offline in drizzle. Drizzle was also used to convert the FITS3P from the DSI to a BMP. The LRGB was then assembled in Photoshop. |

GrahamLocationKettering, OhioDate4/17/07 2h UTEquipmentA Meade DSI Pro and a DSI fitted with twin 35mm f/4 achromats (the objectives from a 7x35 binocular) driven by an LXD75DescriptionLRGB of M65, M66 and NGC3628 (the Leo Trio) taken using a DSI Pro (L:56x30sec) and a DSI (RGB:26x60sec) fitted with twin 35mm f/4 achromats (the objectives from a 7x35 binocular) driven by an LXD75. The source images were saved as FITS3P combined offline in drizzle. Drizzle was also used to convert the FITS3P from the DSI to a BMP. The LRGB was then assembled in Photoshop. |
