I haven't posted for a while because I have been busy. so I figured someone might be interested in a few pics. I will add more as I get time.

I drug my telescope out for a few hours one night and took these. First is Saturn.



And a few moon pics. Some were taken before it got dark so they are a little bright and blurry.













This winter will be Jupiter if the weather holds out.
I hope to get a much bigger and better telescope  when my taxes come back.

sometimes I wonder....is that getting closer..... then it hits me

I had a personal conflict the other day, now I'm not speaking to myself.... I'm getting lonesome

I met the girl of my dreams, I was the man of her dreams too.....she used the term "nightmares" though.

Sweet Saturn pic!

What scope are you using?  I haven't tried any astrophotography yet but it is on my list. I just need an equatorial mount instead of my alt/AZ that I have now.
Don't bring shame to our sport.

He died for dipshits too.

Thank you. I'm using a Celestron 102 .....something or another? with a 2x barlow and a cheap Meade pc camera thing from ebay.

Sounds good.... what is it? I don't know anything about what I'm doing but I got lucky one night.

Art.. an equatorial mount allows for tracking so you are not constantly making adjustments to two controls. An alt/az mount only has up down and left right adjustment. Keeping an object centered in the field of view can be a real challange. Also with an equatorial mount a tracking motor can be added so your scope automatically sweeps across the sky at the same apparent speed as what you observing.

Looking good.  Like others I like the Saturn image and the others do look like cheese.
