PhotographerThomas FretzLocationn41.10 degrees w83.18 degrees Tiffin, OHio USADate6 May 2009 23h24m ESTEquipmentTelescope was an Orion 4.5 inch f/4 Relector Camera was Philips ToUcam (unmodified webcam) Mounted on an Ioptron 8403DescriptionUsing email from CALSKY.com I was able to set up all equipment and by prepaired at the correct time of transit. I captured an AVI of about 1800 frames at 10 frames per second. The transit lasted about .8 seconds so only 7 frames were stacked using Photoshop. I think an article on Calsky in Sky & Telescope would benefit many of your readers. Thank You Thomas Fretz |

Just West of Portland, Maine, Antares approached our moon and appeared within 35 arc seconds of the moon's northern limb. ( As a point of size comparison, it is unusual for the ISS to appear to be 35 arcseconds in size.) |
