I just recently got my scope back from Dr Sherrod and last night was the
first good night in a long time so i went crazy,here are a lot of photos
from last night.

Here are some photos from 3/30/07.  The Moon photos are 10 sec avi's at
1/50 of a sec at 30fps.  The Saturn photos are 4 min. avi's at 1/5 of a
sec 5 fps. All processed in registax and cleaned up in photoshop cs2,
photofilter and noiseware.  I used my etx 125 asac 7 ccd and a
scopetronix maxpower tele.  Taken from my home in Washington Pa.

Also that photo of the bobcat is great.  I have only seen one bobcat and
one Pa. mountain lion in my whole live.  great photo.

I am just emailing a couple of images I obtained with my ETX105 on 15th
March 2007. Included is my first ever image of Venus - I hope to
continue imaging Venus over the coming months to record the phase
changes. I am very pleased with the result which appears to show subtle
shading on the planet. I hope you include them both on your excellent
website.

Many Thanks, Ralph

On March 16th, I got a chance to give my first attempt on Saturn with my
ETX125 and a newly purchased Philips ToUcam 840K. Seeing condition
(5-6/10) and transparency are not very good, Saturn is still faint in
the video even if I set the shutter speed to 1/25 and gain value 100%.
However, the turnout is not too bad considering this is my first
attempt. Hope the weather gets better soon so I can do more imaging!
 
Specific information is given on the image.
 
Clear skies,
Jia Hao

After almost 2 months of constant bad weather here in Ireland last week
we got one of those nights you dream about.
Lovely clear transparent steady skies.
Here is a shot of Saturn from that night.
