In
preparing for the second Venus Transit of our lives on June 5th 2012, I
have been practicing setting up my Venus Transit rig to observe the
transit and take images of it. The initial result of this practice
is a picture of Sol capture Saturday morning on the 19th of June. |

The fascination with Luna continues. Tonight, 3/19/2011, happens to be when the moon attains Perigee in its orbit, which brings the moon as close as it has been in my short astronomical career. It won't be this close again until 2029 so I figured I better take a few images of it. This is probably the best of the three or four hundred I shot and fiddled with. It was taken with my Canon 7D attached to the Meade LX200 GPS 10" scope with a 6.3 focal reducer. The image was shot at ASA 100 with a shutter speed of 1/125 of a second. The moon was nearly at the meridian, which is also where the neighbor's damn tree begins to invade my sky now days from within Rott'n Paws Observatory in Chesapeake VA. |

The "Man in the Moon" was captured at f5.6 with an exposure of 1.3s @ ASA 800. I just acquired an IOptron Minitower cube Alt/Az GoTo mount and tonight I attached my canon 40D with a 70-300mm and just set the camera up to test the new mount a little. Pretty cool eh? 8/19/10 |

The last night of the ECSP in Coinjock NC the spring of 2010 I decided to go ahead and try to image SOMETHING, after not really intending to because of the volatile nature of the weather. So I decided on an easy cluster, M13. I soon found out what I had left home in Chesapeake, all of my focusing masks. So I had to rely on plain old Chuck's eye's for focus - not a good thing. I spent four hours trying to get the stars to look round. So when I finally achieved a marginally acceptably poor focus, I shot a dozen or so images at various exposures and and ASA levels. I brought them home and stacked them into this mess. Not as good as I had hoped for, but hey it's here! |

Ok, who doesn't like
the Ring Nebula M57? This is a combination of about four shots with each
having a
different exposure length and different ASA value. Again taken at
the ECSP in Coinjock NC, the skies were a bit rough due to the impending
storm and it was "just one of those nights" Murphy was with me
all night long screwing with my focus. |

The image taken on the left was acquired in early 2004 of forgotten exposure length and number of stacked images. The right hand image was taken 01/02/09 around 4:00 AM and is a stack of 120 exposures of .0643 seconds in duration. Both images were taken using the same equipment at the same focal length using a Meade LX-200GPS 10" telescope and a Meade LPI camera. Of particular interest is the amount of difference in tilt between the two images observed in nearly five years. |
