Description

My preschool class of 3 and 4 year olds. We have been studying our Solar System and we were given some old copies of your magazine. We made a collage of pictures from the mags. My husband thought it a sacrilege to cut them up. Even tho we talked about Pluto as being a minor planet, it was the favorite of many kids followed closely by Jupiter and Earth. Thanks Jan Pinkham

This image of minor planet 2007 HA is the combination of six 50-second AVI movies obtained with a MallinCam Hyper. Each "dash" along the minor planet's path is the result of one AVI. Each AVI comprises about 1400 frames. The exposure time from start to finish is 4 minutes and 52 seconds and the minor planet was moving upwards (northwards).

Equipment

LXD75 SN-10AT with UHTC and Meade LPI

Description

120 stacked images taken with Meade LPI and 2x barlow. Image prosessed with Registax. This is one of the first images I took with my 10" scope and LPI. I had not intended on taking any images that night but I was there and it was fairly clear. I am still learning all the software so I am sure these will get better.

Equipment

Celestron 9.25 on a CG5-SGT mount. Digital camera: Canon 400D direct coupling.

Description

The image shows five satellites of Saturn from top on the right side:TITAN-DIONE-RHEA and on the left side is TETHYS and on the top of the rings is ENCELADUS. Distance fron Earth:8.67-8.68au. The interesting for me is the right colors of the satellites the camera has captured. The sky was one of the worst this night.
