Date

2005 October, 11 - Around 20h 06m LT (UT - 3h)

Equipment

10-inch Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain and Philips Vesta PCVC675k webcam

Description

Frames from several avi files were combined with Registax and resulted 9 images of different lunar regions which were then put together with the aid of iMerge. The final mosaic was processed with Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro and reduced about 60%. My intention was to show in only one picture, the entire mountain chains (Apenninus, Caucasus and Alpes) around Mare Imbrium, with a good amount of details.

Equipment

Meade 10"LX200 w/ web cam

Description

The skies having thwarted my attempt to create a movie of the of the transiting of Io and Europa across the face of Jupiter did however allow me two 8 min stretches of time separated by one hour to create this stereo image. Let your eyes relax and focus on the image in the middle (if you can); notice that motion in one direction creates the effect of lifting of the screen (moons and shadows) while the other appears depressed (great red spot). This technique works great on the moon as well, allow one hour between shots for parallax.

Equipment

Twin Meade 60AZ-T refractors, Meade DSI and DSI Pro, LXD75 mount

Description

This moderately wide field image of M104 was taken using a DSI Pro (L:100x30sec) and a DSI (RGB:35x60sec) fitted with twin Meade 60AZ-T refractors (60mm f/5.8 table-top telescopes) driven by an LXD75. The source images were saved as FITS3P combined offline in drizzle. Drizzle was also used to convert the FITS3P from the DSI to a BMP. The LRGB was then assembled in Photoshop.

This is a 1 minute exposure with a 50mm lens. First, the sign was rendered with a flash @ 1/250th sec. at f/16, then focus shifted to infinity and lens opened up to f/2.8 for the guided portion.

Description

Here is the moon and Venus above Evening Star Road. The reddish ghosting of the letters is due to car headlights briefly illumunating the shifted letters.
