PhotographerHoward H BowerLocationMcCordsville, INDateAugust 30/31, 2011 10pm-2amEquipmentImaging Telescope - TEC140ED Imaging Camera - QSI583wsg Autoguider - SX Lodestar Mounting - APMach1 GTODescriptionThis image of the open star cluster NGC7380, also known as the Wizard Nebula spanning an area on the sky of about 5 times the size of the full moon. NGC 7380 is located in the constellation Cepheus about 7,000 light-years from Earth within the Milky Way Galaxy. The star cluster is embedded in a nebula, which spans some 110 light-years. The stars of NGC 7380 have emerged from this star-forming region in the last 5 million years or so, making it a relatively young cluster. The image @f/7 represents the “First Light” of a TEC140ED APO oil spaced triplet refractor. It is four hours of exposure in the narrowband. The image is a modified HST Palette using a process outlined by Bob Franke. |

PhotographerJoost VerheydenLocationHoegaarden, FlandersDateSeptember 1, 4hr34 CETEquipmentSkywatcher Maksutov 180 HEQ5 Televue 2,5 Powermate Philips SPC900DescriptionSome fairly reasonable seeïng allowed the webcam to take this picture of teh giant planet. As I re-started astronomy after a 20 years break, I'm utterly amazed on how small equipment is now able to display details on our planets, we could only dream of so many years ago. Also big scopes are not necessary for reasonable images. I love the planets as from heavily light-polluted Belgium, this is about as far as it gets !! |
