Tractor Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 I got a much better picture using a modded eyepiece adapter and much better computer guiding of the scope. Only drawback was the moon being 20 degrees away making the sky very bright. http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f185/EWhytsell/M42shareable.jpg Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Very nice! Do you use digital or film? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 That's awesome. Do you think you could PM or email me a full size pic (like 1280x900) that I could set at my desktop background? Just shoot me a Pm if you can and I'll PM you my Email address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Any other nebulas out there? J/k. Looks great, mang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted February 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Not to many other Nebulas this time of year that can be photographed from Central Ohio. If the moon ever leaves I'll try to get Rosetta Nebula and at least make an attempt at Horse Head, but I'm pretty sure I can't pick it up unless I'm at a dark location. I did pick up the Whirlpool Galaxy near the big dipper that night, but the sky fog was to high to get anything except the galactic core in the image. I use a Canon digital S2 IS and my Celestron 8" telescope acts as a 2000mm F/10 lens. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 um, that is NOT a small sample. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I want a bunch of that, blown up huge. Evan: If your camera takes film, I'll buy you a roll of good stuff. Take some good stuff and let me buy some copies off you at-cost, then sell the rest for profit. DJ, you never told me you had any nebulae?

Tractor Posted February 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 6000x6000 nice Brian, but kinda makes it hard to look at even on a 51" monitor. What I really want is to get a nice picture of M51 "The Whirlpool Galaxy." At least good enough that I can frame it on my wall. Look that one up on yahoo to see some nice shots of it.

RedRocket1647545505 Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Googling the orion nebula came up with some pretty awesome pictures. Here's a small example: http://ipac.jpl.nasa.gov/media_images/ssc2006-21a1.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
