Very impressive Ken.
Great job on the presentation too.
Who'd want someone like mrbuster123 lurking in the forum anyway. Jerk.
Ahhh, ignorance ... ( 1 year ago by BallaratDragon)
Ahhh, ignorance must be bliss!
If I copied my images from a book it mustn't be a very good book. But I shall take it as a compliment that you think my images are 'Astronomy Book' quality.
The Contrast change you refer to is called 'Amp Glow' and is an undesirable effect of CCD imaging in Long Exposure mode.
I suppose when I submit my Video Part 2 that you'll say I stole them from the Hubble Space Telescope! Go ahead, I'll just thank you for the compliment.

Im sorry,I was really being stupid,I know you must have really worked hard at getting all of these great astrophotos...Ill keep my mouth shut.
Very gracious ... ( 1 year ago by barryarmstead)
Very gracious apology there mrbuster123. Bravo. Why dont you take a look at Ice in space and say hello to Ken and the rest of us? You will be able to see what amateur astronomers can really do these days with fairly simple equipment.
In view of your courageous apology,I would like to apologise to you for responding to your first comment in the derogitory.
Thank You, Apology ... ( 1 year ago by BallaratDragon)
Thank You, Apology accepted.
Yes it was a lot of work capturing those images over a 2 year period. It has all been a great learning curve and I am looking forward to completing video number 2 and posting it in here.

I was wondering, ... ( 10 months ago by Blackheart77ce)
I was wondering, can you get a photo of the US flag on the moon with these telescopes?
No Blackheart, the ... ( 10 months ago by BallaratDragon)
No Blackheart, the flag is way to small. Even the Lunar landing craft cannot be seen. The minimum size of objects able to be seen with Earth based telescopes is about 20 meters diameter (60 feet)and even then it is only a dot. Many have tried to get images of the Lunar landing craft, but as yet, no-one has acheived it, but we keep trying.
just a question is ... ( 9 months ago by nismoT40)
just a question is to how to start taking astropictures. what type of digital camera do you look for? and can this be done on most telescopes?
