PhotographerPaul GandyLocationBoca Raton, FL, backyardDate10/10/10, midnightishEquipment1998 Celestron C8,altazimuth; Sony Hanycam DV camcorder, Registax 5, blowdryer for humidity controlDescriptionShows the state of the astro community. I read "Nights, Camera, Action" on Friday S&T online, dug out my old Handycam on Saturday (and C8), downloaded Registax5 on Sunday, videoed and processed Sunday night, had a software glitch, got personal advice from Cor at Registax within 2 hours!, downloaded virtualdub, read blogs and e-manual for both, produced image Monday morning. My first attempt at digital imaging, not the greatest I've seen of Jupiter, but it speaks volumes about the helpful enthusiasm of the astro community. I was standing on the shoulders of giants. |

PhotographerMike LearmonthLocationLambton County, Ontario, CanadaDateSept. 6 & 11, 2010EquipmentNikon D300 DSLR with 35 mm f1.8 Nikkor lens, mounted on a trpiod with no tracking, 4 second exposure @ f1.8 and ISO 3200. The two images aligned and stereo pair created using Stereo Photo Maker version 4.30 freeware.DescriptionThis stereo pair utilizes the Earth’s movement over just slightly more than 5 days to create the stereo base for the two photographs of just under 13 million kilometers. When viewed as a stereo image, it is apparent that Jupiter is close, Uranus (slightly above, to the right of Jupiter and about 2500 times dimmer) is further away and the stars in the background are at infinity. The images are made for cross-eyed viewing (left eye looking at right image, right eye looking at left image). The standard for stereo images for parallel viewing is a spacing of 2.5 inches (based on the average interpupillary distance) so this image should be printed 4 inches high by 5 inches wide. Cross-eyed viewing is more forgiving. |

PhotographerDag OrsicLocationPetrova Gora star party, CroatiaDateOctober 10th 2010. 19:30EquipmentTelescope: Orion ED 80 + TS flattener + dew heater by Kruno Mount: Vixen GPDX not guided Camera: Canon Eos 5d mark2 at ISO 6400DescriptionComet Hartley 2 shot during 45 min period. I wanted to capture it's tail if possible. Because of it's fast motion 30 sec exposures were used, and because of it's low brightness 90 immages have been stacked in DSS to have better signal/noise ratio. The idea worked and a faint tail stands out pretty nicely. |
