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.

Recently i bought a solar filter for my ETX, so i send you two photos. I used Etx 125, J.M.B. solar filter ,Atik 1c, IR filter, 2x Celestron Ultima apochromatic barlow and K3ccd tools (First photo 370 frames, second photo 471 frames). I was impressed that the sunspots look three dimentional. |

it's been quite a while that we were 'blessed' with such an amazing sunspot group like 10720. It is visible with the naked - but solar filter protected (!) - eyes. The binocular (I use a 8x30 with solar filtered objectives) shows a very large, complex group together with two less prominent sunspots (10719/10718). The photo was shot with a ToUCam pro at prime focus of an ETX-125AT (glass solar filter density 4) using 20 of 400 manually selected 1/2500s frames (2005-01-16, 10:50 CET). I could have done better if I would have decided to go outside, let the scope (and me) get to thermal equilibrium. But I decided to do a quick and dirty try through the closed window of my room - I start to like this kind of 'comfortable astronomy'... Nevertheless you see the large and complex group - extremely long stretched umbras - covered by a single penumbra. I measured the size of 10720 to be about 140.000 x 80.000 km - the round umbra at the right end is about earth's size. We will see how flares from that region will interfere with earth's magnetic field. |

Due to the position of the sun I only can take this picture from within the house (with closed windows or else the turbulence of the heat inside is awfull). |
