Eclipse Sequence

Hi all. I am mostly a deep sky guy but couldn't pass up the chance to capture this eclipse. I was in St. George, Utah to help my parents move home for the summer and caught the eclipse in full annular mode. What a sight. I couldn't get the whole thing because the sun set behind the hills before the exit was complete, but I like the sequence none the less. The color change was really amazing. Take a look. The full resolution version has detail in the sunspots but it was much too big to post here. Maybe I will add it to my website soon and post a link to the full version. Holy Cow! What a sight.
Cheers,
Tyler

IC1274 Area - Nocturne Observatory

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi All. After a long absence from imaging, mostly caused by smoke from wildfires, I just got a chance to visit some friends in Kanab, Utah. The skies were very nice and I managed three nights of imaging. I had a few problems... mostly a result of getting spoiled by imaging in my observatory. Once I got the gear working well, I managed to get a few images. The attached version is reduced resolution.

Here is a link to the full version and a description of the many objects in this field:

Please take a look.

Pan-STARRS from Utah

Posted By Tyler Allred

Hi All,
I have been away for quite some time while building a new astrograph. It still isn't done! However, I did manage a nice shot of Pan-STARRS on the evening of the 17th and I also made a short animation of it setting in the west from a few frames. Take a look on my website at this link:
