Where I live it is hard to look at let alone capture great images of what is in my corner of Space.
There is an Air Force Base and an International Airport near by, so the lights of the runway are always ON... That makes my location in the Red Zone on the Light Pollution Map.
These photos were process through a camera stationed on the telescope then processed through a laptop using iCap for the Planets and Backyard ESO for the Orion's Nebula and the Moon.
This is the toy I play with:
Astro-Photography
This is the first image capture with a telescope:
Yes, it looks like a plastic Saturn hanging in-front a black screen. It is real. The first attempt :-)
The images that follow are much better with practice and patience..which at the time I had neither :-(
I was whining inside my brain, WHY?! is this taking so long to process. Why am I freezing for images that look like plastic toys....but as time progressed, I became much wiser and maybe a little older..Shhh no real age was given to protect the innocent, ME! And much better at this new hobby :)
That is Jupiter with the GRS (Giant Red Spot)
This is M45 The Pleiades
This is M42 aka Orion's Nebula
See this? It is the moon..It is NOT made of Cheese after all.
Moon M O O N, that spells MOON, (anyone who loves Stephen King will get that reference)
This is the new mount:
Don't Mind the Model Cats :)
