Equipment

For Mars: Neximage Solar System Imager with two 2X barlows on a Celestron SC 8 inch telescope. 1/5 sec exposures during 700 seconds. Taken from city backyard. A 3500 frame avi processed with Registax4 and Photoshop CS2.

Description

The image is a composite showing Earth and Mars to scale side by side, the vividly contrasting colors a testimony to the planets' divergent evolutions. Earth is from a NASA picture, and Mars is my own imaging. The composite is a modest tribute to the ongoing Phoenix mission to Mars... a joining of two worlds.

Description

The ISS had an angular diameter of 33.7" when it transited the an otherwise "blank" sun on the 8th. Dick and Yoko Belcher also observed this event. The transit took just over one second, but we were all able to see it as it appeared on the computer screen.

Equipment

Orion ED 80 with Stock Canon Rebel. Mount was Atals EQ-G goto, guided with 11" SCT using a Starshoot1 with 0.5 focal reducer. Guiding software was Stark-labs PHD. Acquired and processed with Nebulosity.

Description

Just by chance I was in the area of m33 looking through my ED80 when I noticed an unusual fuzzy. Looked in the 11" SCT and it appeared to have some nebuloisty, but was not shown in my basic version of Starry Night. I therefore set up to take a few quick exposures with the ED 80 and the Canon. I was amazed it was moving across the sky. Ended up taking 15 x 60 seconds at iso 800 and was very pleased. I chosed to keep the comet moving and the stars stationary.
