A few of My Old Favorite Astro Images

The Constellation of Orion

This was taken at Astrofest in summer of 2004

Constellation of Andromeda

Also at Astrofest. Canon D60 with 35mm lens.

 

Moon

Shot using 100-400 Tele-photo

Moon at Prime Focus

Here is an example of using a digital SLR at prime focus. If the sensor is not full frame the half deg. Moon or Sun will not fit. It used to fit on 35mm film. But digital still rules.

   

Nov. 2003 Lunar Eclipse

Oooh Aaah Nice colors

Jupiter with Moons

Ya know this whole astro photo thing is much tougher that it looks.

 

   

Earthglow on the Moon

Actually it was an accident. I was trying to guess on the exposure for a moon picture. I was sort of way off. But It still is sorta cool. Shot using a 100-400 telephoto on a Canon D60 (8 sec @ f5.6 ISO200)

Mars at Perigee

This was one of the closet approaches in years. It was a stunning thing to see.

   

 
Comet Neat

Taken at Chicago Astronomical Society's Spring 2004 Comet Quest. This image (one of my all time favs) was taken using a Canon D60 using a 100-400 zoom mounted piggy back on my Dynamax. It was a single 6 minute exposure.
