PhotographerKostas KalimaftsisLocationThessaloniki, GreeceDate9-25-2007, 01:00EquipmentCelestron Nexstar 4SE GoTo, Canon Powershot A710IS Compact camera, 6mm eyepiece, afocal adaptor. Use of the camera's optical zoom, 1/6 sec exposure.DescriptionCropped detail from a larger image. My technique: I use SkyAlign for optimum alignment and smoother drifting. I try sets of 5-10 continous shots (depends on the "seeing") for different settings (the camera has manual control), prefering lower ISO. I either use manual or macro focusing (macro works better on moon phase shots). I end up with about 100 photos for each moon site and I spend the rest of the night comparing images in an image viewer software to keep the best one to process. |

PhotographerJames HannonLocationSouthbridge, Mass.DateJune 14, 2007EquipmentOrion 6" F/5 Newtonian on a Skyview Pro mount. Camera: DSI Pro 2DescriptionWhile taking images on a road trip away from my backyard observatory I used my travel equipment to obtain this image of M13. I was actually waiting for a cloud bank to move in the southern sky to image some ojects there as a clear hole stayed in place in the area of M13. I got 15 min. of L, and 10 minutes each on RGB to complete the image. Some times you just have to take what the sky will give up. |
