Some ETX users have sent me examples of their astrophotography. If you have some examples you would like included here please send me a description of how you made the astrophotos and a copy of the images as GIF or JPEG files due to internet email gateway issues, please send only one image file per message. Send to etx me. Alternatively, if you have created your own web page with your examples please let me know and I'll include a link to your site.
Peace and clear skies for ! PVerandas aol. Finition sous PSP. Alain Bouchez wade holbrook. The fog started to roll in during the Geminid meteor shower.
Very hard to get a shot of those geminids but see what I can do It was taken from my back yard with the 2xbarlow and 25mm lens.
Some sharpening was done but that's all. The rings looked much better through the lens. You could clearly see the Cassini division. The equipment was the etx90 and an olympus D digital camera. I doubt I can do much better with such a small aperture. The seeing was excellent on December 8th , at 1am.
The telescope cooled down during four hours before the shot. I took more than RGB images, and then I stacked the best pictures. The image was finally reassembled to make a colored image, and the color balance was adjusted. I hope I'll be able to do even better in mid December, with a flexible focuser and a few other tricks, when Saturn is at the opposition.
