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 mweasner@aol.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.

It rained all day on February 20th, and I was worried that we wouldn't get to see any of the lunar eclipse. I set up my trusty ETX 60 and performed a "fake" alignment in the living room, and waited for a break in the cloud cover. Caught a moment or two of totality, and I ran outside with my scope, found the moon, grabbed my old Nikon Coolpix 4500 and managed to capture these images. Exposure setting varied, and the images were flipped horizontally in Photo Shop to correct orientation. Hope you had an unobstructed view from Oracle!

Here is a photo I took with my Nikon D200 last night from my home in Connecticut. It was shot on a tripod at 120mm, ISO 100, f/6.3 and a 3 second exposure. Regulus (above) and Saturn (Lower left) formed a triangle with the moon.
