NGC2244 a rose?

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Beautiful shot Mark!
Look at all that nebula detail!
The gradients are very smooth, and there's no sign of loss of detail anywhere!


Thanks!

Very nice Ron!
The spiral arms & core detail are well defined!
The nice FOV on this shot also allow us to see several other galaxies as well.... great!


Thanks for sharing!

NGC4536 LRGB with remote telescope

Posted By Ivan Gastaldo
Beautiful, as usual!
Impressive how natural the star colors are in these shots, not to mention the galaxies, of course...

I really appreciate you posting all these pictures Ron, my budget does not allow me to get into CCD yet, but hopefully soon. Your pictures keep my CCD interest alive...


Thanks!

buying a scope for school

Hello Allen!

Try:

http://www.telescope.com

Orion has their 6" SkyviewPro reflector on an EQ mount with free tracking motor for less than $500.

I agree with everybody here, as I have 3 kids, and even though they love astronomy, if the item is not on the eyepiece, they'll lose their interest quickly!
You'll be better off with a scope like this one... it will keep the objects on the eyepiece for a very long time.



Clear dark skies!
