attached you find a shot of the Dumbell nebula M27.
I used ETX125 with Meade DSI, IR-Filter and
0.5 focal reducer.
20% of 148 shots stacked with GIOTTO, 15 sec. exposure.
Result was enhaced in brightness, contrast and color.
Visibility was limited due to 1 day after full moon.
Hope its worth to be posted.
Best regards from Germany

Finally some deepsky. Found this nebula in Sky&Telescope so I thought I give
it a try.

Not a 'goodie' but to show it can be done with the ETX-70 from my suburban
location: M27, Dumbell Nebula 2005-09-08, 23:15 CEST, ETX-70AT with ToUCam SC1 at prime focus, 20x30s
exposures The 13m.5 central star is visible as well as a touch of the weaker
nebulosities.

M13 is always a worthy object.
I used ETX125 with Meade DSI, IR-Rilter, 0.5 Focal reducer.
Exposure was 5.7s, 69 shots stacked with GIOTTO and
contrast adjusted.
I hope its worth to be posted.

heres another one from Germany.
M57 Ring Nebular with ETX125 and Meade DSI.
Attached IR-Filter and 0.5 Focal Reducer.
85 shots out of 283, each 5.7 s exposure stacked
with GIOTTO.
Contrast was slightly adjusted.
No color enhacemend !
I hope, its worth to be posted.

After a little astro dip I put my ETX outside again.
M27 is nice.

I picked this one from the southern murk here in Thurrock. Light pollution was a severe problem but I managed to isolate a reasonable image of M17. 8 of 18, 20 second exposures were used.

M15 is ideally suited to the f/9.6 field of my ETX. It is a little smaller than M13 so fits a lot better. The image was a lot easier than the earlier post of the Swan! 11 of 29, 21s exposures.

yesterday, in a gap between the clouds that have passed by and the ones to
come, me and my ETX-70AT did two quick shots of the globular clusters in
'Hercules'. Half an hour later no more stars could be seen.
That's ONE reason for an ETX-70: put everything together in 10 minutes and
be ready to go in 15 (forget cooling down; not really necessary with this
scope)
M92: 2005-08-24, ETX-70AT with ToUCam SC1 at prime focus, 20x15s exposures,
darkframe, Giotto Paint Shop Pro.
M92 looks 'grainy' but is resolved only in the outer parts
|
|
M13: 2005-08-24, ETX-70AT with ToUCam SC1 at prime focus; 15x15s exposures,
darkframe, Giotto, Paint Shop Pro
I was really surprised how nicely M13 looks; it is much better resolved
(70mm lense!)
Hope your next 'Oracle Observatory' is a clear sky.

Managed M15 at last, wasn't the best of conditions mind. Seeing about

Here my final pictures (really the last ones) from Portugal.
This is my little messier astro marathon.
I did all these pictures in 1 night! Hell of a job but nice for my Messier
List.

I just have my new computer: An Apple Dual 2.7 Ghz G5 (YES!)
So also new email program, so I don't have to stuffit anymore I think.
Here 2 new deep sky still from Portugal for the deepsky pics.

I did it. A new supernova with the ETX in this beautiful galaxy Messier 51.
