Mars from this weekend

Posted By Russell Horn

The clouds finally broke so that I could do some imaging this weekend. If only the seeing would cooperate as well. Imaged with a C9, 3X barlow, and a webcam.

H/Alpha solar image from last weekend

Posted By Russell Horn

I am not sure if this is what is left of sunspot 798 or what is shown is actually sunspot 813. I do know there has been alot of activity the last couple of weeks. I hope the trend continues! Imaged with a TV85/SM60's and a webcam @ prime focus.

Solar Cal-K image with proms

Posted By Russell Horn

While imaging the Sun with a Coronado SM70 Cal-K scope and a webcam I was surprised to see prominences. This is my first mosaic which was alot of fun as well.

I finally had decent seeing yesterday morning! Imaged with a C9, 3X barlow, and a webcam. Hopefully I will be able to put together a longer string in the near future.

Mars from the 25th

Posted By Russell Horn

I had good sky conditions from my backyard and was able to capture a few Mars avi's. I think this will be the best of the bunch. After viewing Mars with a bino/Nagler 13's I turned to M42 and what a sight. Just as I noticed that the E and F stars were clearly visible two satellites passed right through the Trapezium. One following the other.

Mars - Lumenera first light

Posted By Russell Horn

Here is my first light image with the Lumenera 2-1 camera and Atik filter wheel. The filters I went with are the Astronomik brand. I spent too much time getting all of the captures needed for RGB, but overall I am pleased with it. I am posting North down for a change.

Sunspot 930

Posted By Russell Horn

Despite the 20mph winds I had the best white light views of SOL I have ever seen. Imaged last Sunday with a SV152 refractor, Herschel Wedge, and a Lumenera 2-1 camera.
