My best comet image to date - 200mm Micro Nikkor L

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I decided to try imaging the comet with a Micro Nikkor 200mm camera lens and I am pleased with the result. The larger field allowed me to capture the coma and the tail, as well as a nice star field. Here is a reduced version.
Cheers,
Tyler

Thank Goodness for Spring!

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. Here is a fresh one, taken this evening at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in northern Utah. I have been absent from this forum for some time now, but I plan to spend more time here in the coming months. I moved to a town that is only 20 minutes from the refuge (big smile). The original image was 4288 pixels by 2848 pixels. It is shown here greatly reduced. I hope you like my first installment of the Spring season.
Cheers,
Tyler

Marsh Wren

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. If you have ever tried to photograph one of these jumpy little guys you know how hard it can be, especially with a manual focus Celstron 5, but I got lucky on this one.

NGC6888 in Ha

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi all. I finally got a perfect night last night, with good seeing conditions and no wind. I started the evening by imaging the Leo Trio, which I will post later. Then I did a quickie version of M13, which I will also post later. Then, starting at 2:00 AM, the moon was about to rise so I set the camera to Ha and did 3 hours of the Crescent Nebula NGC6888. Here is the result. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler
