Many ETX users have sent 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 should have returned now from your trip to OO and your audience is
appreciating your newest report...
Meanwhile just a little picture of the moon from 'the other side of the world' - not down under, just Europe ;-) 10 days old moon on April 27th with ETX-70AT and ToUCam pro at prime focus; about 50 out of 650 frames. The moon nicely fits into the FOV (but only on the long side of the chip; about 36 x 27 arcminutes) and that's an easy way for overview images. You can see small craters (in the slightly cropped image) with abt. 20km / 12mls in diameter and highly contrasted details - like Mount Piton in Mare Imbrium - down to 15km / 10mls size. I tried drizzle processing with RegiStax for the first time and I think it works fine. But I have to get acquainted to RegiStax v4 which is powerfull (multi-point alignment is a great feature for large objects like moon's surface, the wavelet function is mighty) but not so easy to handle as - eg. - Giotto v2 or K3CCD Tools v1 which I use 'normally'. Always time to learn something new... |

Here is some fun with photoshop...This is two separate photo's layered into one. The first picture was an over exposed picture of the moon to show the halo. The second was a correct exposure of the full moon. They were taken last night (5/1/07)... |

Love the site! Always have, Thought you might like to post this one. I took my ETX-125 out tonight and what a view of the moon I captured. I took this with a Canon CoolPix L4 Digital Camera. Believe it or not, I simply held the camera up to the eye piece and snapped it. Just goes to show you that you can take great pictures of the Moon without mounting a camera to the scope. Hope you like it. |
