GUEST DEEPSKY ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY Last updated: 18 November 2005

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.com. 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. You will also find astrophotography examples on the Helpful Information - Astrophotography page.

Many thanks for your incredibly helpful and interesting site. Here is a pic of M42-trapezium area shot yesterday evening. Used my ETX 90, DSI, 384 images of 1 sec each stacked on the fly with autostar envisage.A little shadow enhance in envisage and that's all. If you like it you may post it on your site.

I remember your guided astrophotography pictures with Nikon D70 of M45 - and I did the same in my garden with Kodak DX6490 (4MP) digital camera piggy back on ETX-125AT; 10x optical zoom, ISO 400, 16x16s, darkframe. You can see stars down to 10m, quite nice for a standard digital camera in a light-polluted suburban location.

Almost full moon, so here some other nice ETX90 objects: Iota Cassiopeia faint triple star.
Baseball Diamond (faint nice star cluster) Just received an email from a professional astrophotographer. He told me that it was the first time he saw an image of the Baseball diamond cluster. If that's true I don't know, but I can't find anything about this cluster on the Internet, so maybe it's a quite new exposure of something that hasn't been photographed very much. And..it's possible with an ETX90.

I had clouds here during sun eclips. But the night was clear. So I tried a faint galaxy and got three!
