Mars obtained at 23:01 UT on October 7, 2003. The southern polar cap (at top) is visible as well as the well known marking Syrtis Major.
The first image was made on Sept. 10, the second on Sept 17, and the last on Oct. 8. You can see the disk of Mars getting smaller as it recedes from Earth.
In my opinion this is the most breathe taking photo of the Lunar Eclipse I've seen anywhere. (Webmaster comment)
Jim has captured this in a very special way. .As Jim has told me "This image was obtained using a digital camera during the total lunar eclipse. It is a 2 second exposure at 10:28 DST just after the start of total eclipse. Image was taken with my 4.7 inch refractor".
They were obtained on Nov.1,2004 with
the 4.7"
refractor and digital camera, afocal method.
M76, the little dumbbell, is a ten
minute image
taken with the 16" and the image of M82 is an 8 minute
exposure. The image of m42 the Orion Neb, was taken
with the 80mm short focus refractor to get as much of
the object in the field as possible.
Above is an image I made on Dec. 14th of
the supernova in the galaxy ngc6946, seen between the tick
marks. The image was made with the new Meade Deep Sky Imager and my 16". The
image is a bit grainy as I had
to use aggressive methods to pull the galaxy from the background as this galaxy
is very large but also very
faint. It is not even visible in the 16" here in Thomaston and the individual
images of the galaxy just
barley show it and it is only by adding of 25 images together that I was able to
show the galaxy with the
the supernova.
Playing around on this rainy Saturday I
came up with
a better image of my shot of m94. I figured out the
flat fielding problem I was having and brought up the
contrast and color a bit.
Latest image from the Meade DSI camera. One hour
exposure of the galaxy NGC 4236 in Draco. IR filter
removed.
