PhotographerRick JohnsonLocationNorthern MinnesotaDateSept 8, 2008, 10:00 UTEquipment14: LX200R, 10min Lum, 3 min RGB total, STL-11000XM, Paramount MEDescriptionTaken through dawn skies just to see if it had returned. I was more than a little shocked to find out it has. Unfortunately weather has prevented any further attempts to image it. But it appears much as I last saw it in 2005. I didn't expect a reappearance this soon. |

PhotographerAndré MontambaultLocationDrummondville, Qc, CanadaDate16 january 2008, 01:30 UTEquipmentFor 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.DescriptionThe 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. |

PhotographerMiguel ClaroLocationAlmada -PortugalDate26-04-08 at 13h00EquipmentCanon Powershot 550 - ISO 80 F-7.1 , 1/640sDescriptionToday 26-04-08 in Almada, the neighboring city of Lisbon, only separate for the Tagus river, i could watch a gret atmospheric effect as known by "Ice Halo".That is an atmospheric optical phenomenon mostly associated with the refraction of sunlight by small ice crystals making up cirrus or cirrostratus clouds. In the image we can see the portuguese Christ King silhouette, seemed to that it exists in Brazil( i use is right arm to blocking part of the sun light) and below in the image we can see part of the "Ice Halo" effect |

PhotographerTamas LadanyiLocationPlateau of Tes (Hungary)Date13.04.2008.EquipmentCanon EOS 300D, Sigma 1,4/30 objectiv at f/2, iso 800, 10 sec exposure timeDescriptionMy latest picture about the windmill in moonlight. It can be found on the plateau of Tes (Hungary). It has been built by Janos Ozi in 1924 but it doesn't work recently. The illuminated scene was breathtaking around midnight. In the background can be seen the rising of the summer constellation: Lyra and Cygnus. |

PhotographerJohn StetsonLocationFalmouth, MaineDateApril 8, 2008 19h44m9s UTEquipment4" refractor, 90mm h-alpha solar filter, webcamDescriptionThe 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. |

PhotographerFabiomassimo CastelluzzoLocationSant'Oreste (ITALY)Date5april2008, 23.00 l.h.EquipmentNewton SkyWatcher 10inch f5. Coma corrector.Canon 350d. Autoguide magz on eq6 pro,using refractor 70 900 as guide scopeDescriptionThe region around NGC 4005 (about 30’X 25’) is quite interesting. Are present many galaxies and on the sud west side, the ARP138. All galaxies in the field are not more than 3’. For example, NC3987 is 2,2’X0,4’ and magn is about 13. It is a an interesting result at 1200 mm focal length. Image is 102 minutes total exp and each subexp 3 minutes at 800 ISO, with Canon 350D and Newton SkyWatcher 10inch f4,8. I used Baader coma corrector and IRIS software under quite polluted sky near Rome. |

PhotographerPaul DaniellLocationTornado, WVDateDec 26 2007 8:50 pm easternEquipmentOrion 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.DescriptionJust 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. |
