GUEST COMET HALE-BOPP ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY
Last updated: 21 May 1997

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.

I took this shot with my ETX and it is a guided exposure of 15 seconds, taken in March under a half moon.

This is 3 min shot taken with my ETX in March and also under a half moon.

I took this shot thru my ETX at f 13.8 (prime focus) under a half moon in March. This was a 5 min guided shot. The picture was with a half moon and I almost did not take it as I thought it would be washed out. The shot was with Fujicolor 800 film.

Here are some images obtained with the ETX astro version and a CWIP-S CCD camera from Sirius Instruments.As you can see the versatility of the ETX is great and we can use easely a CCD attached on the vertical eyepiece holder. Even this vertical eyepiece holder is perfect to attach a 35mm SLR camera (I use a Pentax K1000) for piggy-back astrophotography.
