121. Tim Printy's Astronomy Web Page astrophotography guide specializing in comets, meteors and deep space. http://members.aol.com/TPrinty/

TIM PRINTY'S ASTRONOMY WEB PAGE Andy Druga, noted astrophotographer, demonstrates how easy it is to "Catch" a comet. Saturn seen through my Meade 10" SCT using a Quickcam pro and a 2X barlow. I am an avid astrophotographer and enjoy getting good color shots of great deep sky objects. The shot above shows one of my setups with my Meade 10" LX50 telescope. In this configuration, I am piggybacking an Orion 120MM F5 refractor with a Nikon D70 attached. Using a Nikon D70 and an Orion 120MM F5 refractor, I was able to take this photograph of the andromeda galaxy. Notice the companion galaxies M32 and NGC 205 (sometimes referred to as M110). Exposure was a stack of six five-minute exposures at ISO 800 with noise reduction. This is one of my favorite shots. Using a 0.42X converter to the front of a 28mm lens (stopped down to F4), I took a 30 minute exposure on Fuji 400G film. This was able to capture the major portion of the milky way. The picture was published in Astronomy Magazine. The red objects at the bottom are the tops of several campers illuminated by red flashlights. To the southeast one can see the lights of Orlando over 100 miles away. While I used to sponsor the Chiefland Astronomy Village, I have since moved away from Florida and am not as in touch with events. If you are ever in the Chiefland area, you HAVE to go and see the site. You can visit the chiefland site

122. Photographing Comet Hale-Bopp A brief guide to doing astrophotography with standard photographic lenses, prompted by the appearance of Comet HaleBopp but useful for other applications. http://www.photo.net/learn/astro/intro

var subscriber_p=0, user_id=0; photo.net Classifieds Shop Classifieds ... Search A Quick and Dirty Guide to Photographing Comet Hale-Bopp by Russ Arcuri Home Learn : One Article This is a guide for people who want to take photos of the comet, but don't have a lot of specialized equipment for astrophotography. All photo.net regular readers will likely have an SLR, a tripod, and one or two fast prime lenses, right? That's all that's necessary for reasonably good pics of the comet. Equipment The camera: Any SLR camera with shutter speeds up to 30 seconds and/or "bulb" mode will suffice. If you have a modern SLR that uses battery power to keep the shutter open, pack an extra battery or two. You'll also want a remote shutter release or cable release. You can do without the remote release if your camera has a self-timer. The lens: My favorite lens for photographing comets is an 85/1.8. This focal length is long enough that the comet won't be a tiny blur on your pics, but short enough that the stars won't trail too noticeably in the exposures we'll be using. (I'll explain star-trailing below.) If you don't have an 85/1.8, don't worry - you can get reasonably good pics with a fast 50, like a 50/1.4 or /1.8. Oh, if you have an autofocus camera, you have to be able to turn it (autofocus) off. The tripod: Any tripod will suffice, but the heavier, the better. If you don't have a tripod, forget it. Beg, borrow, or steal one if need be.

Book Categories: Introduction to Digital Astrophotography - Imaging the Universe with a Digital Camera Regular Retail Price $34.95 ABOUT THIS BOOK Among the topics covered are: What digital cameras can do (and what they can't). How much resolution is enough? Web cams - spectacular immediate gratification on the cheap! Why is digital imaging often easier, much easier, than film? What are the special considerations for digital astrophotography? What are the various types of astrophotography and which is best for me and my equipment? How do I go about choosing a digital camera (or exploiting the strengths of the one I have now)? Which lenses are best for which targets and how do I go about testing them? How do I setup and align my telescope? What is image processing and how do I go about it? Plus much, much, more... Check out the following excerpts from the book itself (attachedPDFs below) Table of Contents Dennis di Cicco's Foreword Chapter 1 Index ABOUT THE AUTHOR Nearly 50 years ago Robert Reeves began his astrophotography adventure with his parent's Voightlander 120-format camera. His first exposure from his south-Texas garage roof was the brightest object in the sky, which turned out to be Jupiter. Unlike today's readily available books and accessories that make astrophotography more user friendly, back then the budding enthusiast was left to his or her own devices. Robert was not deterred and found a lifelong avocation of imaging the universe with his camera. His images have been published in the leading astronomy magazines and books and in 2000 he wrote the highly acclaimed book Wide-Field Astrophotography.

Book Categories: Wide-Field Astrophotography 540+ Pages, Hardbound, 6 by 9 inches, 350 Illustrations, 53 Tables Available Now! Wide-Field Astrophotography by Robert Reeves View Chapter 1 About This Book: Wide-field astrophotography is an area where the beginner can bypass the complexities of prime focus telescopic astrophotography yet still excel and achieve good results quickly. Exquisite prime focus close-ups of galaxies and faint nebulae are attractive showpieces, but the art and technicalities of photographing such objects through a telescope are intimidating to the beginner. In high-resolution telescopic photography, the cost of the specialized equipment, the complexities of focusing fine, often invisible detail through the telescope, and guiding with extreme accuracy to achieve worthy results are obstacles to a novice sky shooter. Simpler non-telescopic wide-field astrophotography is an alternative that anyone who owns a camera can enjoy. Today, may well be the Golden Age of Astrophotography. At no time in the past has there been a wider range of films, both color and black and white, that do well when exposed to the night sky. Many of these films capture images in a few minutes that just a few years ago required lengthy exposure by an experienced astrophotographer. Some of these films can be processed in a 1-hr labgone is the era of waiting days to see your results.

135. Joe Roberts Astrophotography Welcome to Joe Roberts astrophotography! On this site you will find amateur astrophotos astrophotography is a very challenging and demanding field! http://www.rocketroberts.com/astro/astrophot.htm

Updated 31 July 2001 Welcome to Joe Roberts Astrophotography! On this site you will find amateur astrophotos which I have taken over the period 1974 to present. Unlike many similar sites, within are images that are typical of beginner results (in addition to some decent images of course!). Such images will help to give those who are contemplating astrophotography as a hobby some idea of what to expect at first. Astrophotography is a very challenging and demanding field! However, technology has made astrophotography easier than it has ever been. Improved films, CCD cameras, and digital image processing now allow an amateur to take photos that rival those taken by large observatory telescopes 20 to 30 years ago. Use the menu buttons below to further explore! NOTE: You might want to Calibrate Your Monitor in order to best view the images on this site.

var site="keithscircuitboard" SINCE 990910 document.write(""); All material on this website is without first obtaining permission from the author. Thank you. Last updated on 050324 Ever since I moved to New Mexico (actually ever since I found out I was going to move to New Mexico), I knew I wanted to take advantage of the dark desert skies by buying a telescope, but it took me two and a half years to actually get around to doing net. Nevertheless, in December 2001, I purchased an Orion SkyView Deluxe 6" telescope, a six-inch aperture Newtonian reflecting telescope on an equatorial mount. I started playing around with it and very quickly discovered that my real interest lay, not in simply looking through the telescope, but in capturing images of what I could see. I started out using film, quickly shifted over to webcams, and now use both for different kinds of imaging. What are you interested in?
