Correction these were shot without powermate at f/10. Today I tried the powermate on the #ISS but (as with earlier barlow experiments) there seems to be not much benefit because the higher resolution comes at the cost of longer exposures which increase motion blur.
Quick view of this evening's #Jupiter. 1000 x 10 ms unfiltered mono in Celestron 8" + 2.5x powermate.
Two views of this evening's #ISS pass over The Hague. 44 / 14 x 0.2 ms unfiltered mono in Celestron 8" + 2.5x powermate. #astrophotography
This evening's two day old #Moon crescent 3.8% illuminated. Single shots 1 sec and 15 sec EOS 400D in Celestron 8" + 0.63x reducer. #astrophotography
If you look carefully at the great red spot you can see that it appears to move a bit faster than the dark structures to the south this is due to differential rotation.
Time lapse of #Jupiter Wednesday night covering two hours of real time. 60 x 3000 x 12 ms RGB in Celestron 8" + 2.5x powermate. #astrophotography
Longer exposure of #Saturn reveals some of the moons.
70 x 2 sec Ha 35 nm in Celestron 8" at f/10 (oops I forgot to remove the filter which is silly when going for faint objects)

This evening's #Saturn. Ring still appears pretty close to edge-on. 1000 x 30 ms Ha 35 nm in Celeston 8" at f/10.
MalloryI finally got an opportunity to do some #astrophotography on last Saturday night. I've had a wide-field lens I've been borrowing for like two months now, and it's the first time I've been able to use it in a dark sky. This lens has a few quirks that have made it a challenge to use.
Here's my first attempt at processing the data I got of ~40° of the sky around the Orion constellation. Several interesting objects are visible in the image including (but not limited to):
- M1 (Crab Nebula)
- M35 (Shoe-Buckle Cluster)
- M42 (Orion Nebula)
- M45 (Pleiades)
- IC 434 (Horsehead Nebula)
- IC 443 (Jellyfish Nebula)
- IC 2177 (Seagull Nebula)
- NGC 2024 (Flame Nebula)
- NGC 2174 (Monkey Head Nebula)
- Caldwell 49 (Rosette Nebula)
- SH 2-276 (Barnard's Loop)
- SH 2-246 (Lambda Orionis Ring)
