They're beautiful. I think I liked the Orion nebula enough to make it a wallpaper

What sort of a telescope do you have? How much did it cost? And how do you escape the city lights?

[Something Else]

Very Good!
Whats next?

[baja_yu]

What kind of scope you got?


And, to mendhak, the best way is to retreat to a mountain or a hill outside the city, and after midnight, when the temperature variation settles.

Whats next?

A picture of the starship Enterprise maybe?

What sort of a telescope do you have? How much did it cost? And how do you escape the city lights? What's next? How can you be sure it's the Orion Nebula? Why can't it be the Pegasus Nebula?

What sort of a telescope do you have?

According to http://www.lostworldcreations.co.uk/ :

They were taken using a Meade LX75 8" SC Telescope and a Canon G3 digital camera. I used a Scopetronix max view 40 with G3 T-ring connector

[BodwadUK]

Cool thanks everyone

its a SC meade LXD 75 with a canon G3 digital camera. The telescope has autoguiding which helps for the nebula pics. The exposure is a 15 second one on the orion nebula and a 200th of a second (I think) on the Saturn pics.

I live in a village but light polution is still an issue, Hopefully my new stuff will arrive soon (waiting for ages). Its a Light reduction filter ,focal reducer and barlow, ill post my results when and if I ever get any.

Anyone else got a scope?

[BodwadUK]

Lol sorry about the website design it took me two hours to make. Could you guess

[baja_yu]

How can you be sure it's the Orion Nebula? Why can't it be the Pegasus Nebula?

You have software which can tell you exact positions of stars, planets etc. from your location at any given time.
And there telescopes that motorized and computerized, so they can automatically direct themselves at the object you want.

I'm thinking of buying an Orion AstoView 6, but just for observation. I am not very interested in astrophotography.

It's a problem to find a store which will ship it my way. And the ones that do, in most cases, the shipping price can exceed the price of the scope.

added to which it was in the Orion constellation

[BodwadUK]

That Orion scope sounds quite good, dont go with Tasco when I got one it was terrible

[baja_yu]

Hahaha

[fahad k]

That GUI design amongst the worst i have ever seen, but the pics somewhat makeup for that.:thumbsup:

[venerable bede]

The Wraith wouldn't like that very much.

Baja: Yes, I know that part. I was asking about what the useless mutt did.

[Cander]

Very nice man.

Man I want a Meade. They make some nice Cassagrains.

[BodwadUK]

My next target will probably be Saturn again, try and get more contrast

[visualAd]

Very nice. I am jealous, I have on occasions attached my dads 35mm SLR to my scope, but taking anything dimmer than the moon is a disaster. I guess a motor is a must when you have a long exposure.

Looking at a picture of a nebula and lokoing at it with the naked eye is quite different. When viewed through the telescope the nebula appears as a haze. But take a picture and you got all the beautiful colours. Stunning

I think you should aim high - get some pics of dark matter

[BodwadUK]

Got one

[BodwadUK]

Through a scope the Nebula appears like a hazy white cloud around the stars

[vbcode1980]

The Wraith wouldn't like that very much.

Pfff, Major John Sheppard will personally kick their buttocks!
