Both an image and a spectrum. It was an interesting time, trying to figure out which object was the quasar and which objects were stars. The spectrum itself ...
Thank you John please keep posting these images.<br>Today we looking at your spectrum at Summerset college with 30 year 12 Astrophyics students<br>this made a ...
This weekend presented a couple of good clear nights, so I set about getting a good shot of M-94. The results are ok- though not spectacular. The outer rim of ...
I have posted an image of Mars taken a couple of nights ago. It was purely luck, for the night wasn't good and I set up only to co-align my city telescope pier...
That is a great shot. I have yet to get an image of Mars that even compares to that. Since opposition is next month, we should all be able to see some fine...
I've had a break in the weather and sneaked some more frames of the red planet. Unfortunately the sky was misty and not particularly steady. The image averaged...
I discovered several new pics in the Nebula album and they're rather good. John's images are always marvellous (like that transparancy of M27) and ccd_freak ...
Hi Serena, No news up here in the northeast. Hot weather has come (spring was very short), so we are at 33C now (WARM). The observing of dim galaxies has given...
Last night we had another break in the clouds (for a bit) and I grabbed some frames. Actually it looked like a nice break and I took illum frames, but clouds...
The outer space images here are gorgeous! I would love to be able to shoot photos like these, though I have been collecting them.<br><br>I read an article ...
John and Cal,<br>You might remember that I proposed making a precision focusser that added little to the length of the optical path. Well I've just finished...
An image with Syrtis Major rising over the right horizon. Sometime I'll align all these Mars pics with a constant direction of the rotational axis. This one...
I have been playing around with asteroid animations lately and have a<br> couple online for those that are interested. They were both done with an<br> ST-7...
John, those are interesting animations. I presume that 130 Elektra is in the centre of frame (although the motion is slight) but if so there is another in the...
Hi Serena, the Pallas images were all taken in one evening, so the asteroid hangs around in a small area of sky. The Elektra images were taken over two nights,...
I've processed the images from June 26. It's amazing how much time you can spend processing images compared to the time to acquire them. In this case I have ...
Serena,<br> <br> Very nice indeed, I know exactly what you mean. I have been trying for good images of Mars for the last 2 weeks. Seeing has been lousy on most...
Hi Janet,<br>Each of the RGB frames was 40 exposures, with a variable number thrown out. The L was made of 80 exposures, with 26 rejected for poor seeing. It's...
Hi Folks,<br><br> I found some very interesting information on Mars, it would probably explain the lack of detail I was getting in my imaging of Mars over the...
Hi Janet,<br>Dust storms! I might have known. I've just posted an image taken on July 15 and while it is of the less dramatic side of Mars the detail is quite...
Serena,<br><br> Another excellent image! you have captured a lot of nice detail. I've gone back to deepsky imaging but seeing Mars so clearly on these clear ...
Greetings. I'm back from work but I feel like I'm back from the dead. I have tried to follow your posts as time allowed and have enjoyed the images. Serena's...
Hi Cal, Welcome back from the wilds. I've had only one opportunity to use the focuser with a night sky, but it worked fine. I took some photos of it mounted on...
