What did you set the f-stop for those photos? Because it looks like you shot at f1.2 and sacrificed depth of field in some of those shots (the first one for instance).

Cute kittehs.

Heh, he looks like a younger version of my cat

new telescope, first real picture with it. expect much improve over the next year when i get better with it

1st shot of jupiter with it, unedited straight-out-of-camera



this was with very low magnification. will get some killer shots in the future

when i first saw this in the eyepiece i said HOLYYYY SHITTTT... never seen it like this before! MOONS!

The lens was starting to collect dew about 1/3 of the way into viewing the moon, and then was pretty well dewed over when i started jupiter. heater element on the way to remedy the dew forming.

sorry too funny

I remember the first time I saw the rings of Saturn (like 45 years ago old fart here) through my just purchased 50mm telescope and said much the same thing.

Nice shots andyman and a nice pussy.

That's sweet... I have a small Bausch+Lomb bird watching telescope. I've tried peeping Jupiter with it a few times. I don't get much more than a small reddish dot, but somehow that feels more exciting than just looking directly at it with my eyes. Give us moar!!1

Any of you guys had a chance to try a Lytro camera yet?

That's awesome, Andyman

did it ded?


found some kitten teeth on the carpet

Friday night lugged the scope to my friends place about 45min north where it's a lot clearer than mine. Full moon was below the horizon while jupiter was out, but the clouds rolled in with the moon so this was all I could get. These are two separate images with different magnification and f-stops. To make these, I took a 30s avi video and then loaded it into a program that takes each frame as an image and aligns/processes them (about 1000 frames for the wide shot, 2000 for the close one)







Still, looking at it through the eyepieces looks a LOT better so if you get the chance to view it do it!

I was surprised at all the stars i could see in the telescope where there was black with just the eye. Everywhere I looked in the scope there were tons of stars and the viewing was really only 10% better than at home. Now I am very anxious to go back to south carolina where I took this picture with the 5D, and that is pretty much how it look with an eye too.

those jupiter pics are awesome it's amazing you can make out so much detail on something so far away with a modest-sized telescope

Hey andyman... do us a favour and snap a shot of the supernova in M82?!?

http://www.universetoday.com/108386/bri ... ar-galaxy/

Was just detected last night I believe. I'm gunna try and look for it with my bird-watching scope tonight at sundown.

i'll make an honest attempt this friday if it's clear out, but a dslr is not a good choice for these types of things, especially where i live

if you can get a picture of something 12 million LY away, it will rule this thread

Ha ... just realized that supernova happened over 12 million years ago.

Damn... well I read that its apparent magnitude is around +11 or +12, which is bright enough to be seen with binoculars. Figured your setup might net something more than a small white dot

Space

It was always abstract until now

Really nice pictures in here

andyman, is it possible for you to take pictures of the Apollo moon lander? That would be awesome.

in b4 geoff...

hmmm i don't know if my camera can do that... would need a specialized astro camera, if the scope could even do that. quite the challenge but I am more interested in very clear planetary pictures with my current dslr. astro camera is still in the plans, but man they are not cheap at all.
