Some ETX users have sent me examples of their astrophotography. If you have some examples you would like included here please send me a description of how you made the astrophotos and a copy of the images as GIF or JPEG files (due to internet email gateway issues, please send only one image file per message). Send to etx@me.com. Alternatively, if you have created your own web page with your examples please let me know and I'll include a link to your site.

Attached to this e-mail are a few reduced resolution shots of the May 15 2003
Lunar Eclipse I took with a Nikon Coolpix 4500 via eyepiece projection through
a Meade ETX 60 AT from Spring Valley, CA. The shots are labeled in
chronological order: Lunar1 was taken at moonrise through the telephone
poles, Lunar20 just at the end of totality, Lunar54 about half way
through totality, Lunar69 almost at the end of totality. Lunar75 was taken
through an orange filter and shows interesting contrast along the edge of
earth's shadow.

Prime Focus picture of Lunar Eclipse through ETX-125 with Canon 10D. Focusing was tough. The 10D has a 1.6 magnification of the image as compared to a 35mm, so I couldn't get the whole moon in the shot.

I want to send you this photo of the moon. It was taken at 10:45 pm CST in Monterrey Mexico.
The moon is shown in one of the darker eclipse phases.
Together with the moon are shown some stars from Libra.
The shot was taken using my Olympus OM-2s and Konica Centuria 1600. Exposure was taken using the camera autoexposure feature and it was about 7 seconds.
For this eclipse I used my ETX.125 for observation ang piggy back photos. This particular photo was taken with my Meade LX10 at prime focus using a 6.3 focal reducer.

May is a beautiful moth.
This morning I recorded with my Sony videocamera the lunar elcips in The
Netherlands on the beach at 4 am. We only could see the beginning here.
With the eye I followed the eclips through my ETX 90. Unfortunately I
couldn't see any of the famous red colour.

Eyepiece projection with an etx-60 and Nikon Coolpix 995....
tough to focus...
I s'pose I don't have to mention it, but, there were no filters or anything, just the nice blood red moon during the eclipse...
