WOW, mate! :yeah:

Nice work. I guess it's made of Bleu cheese after all.

I tellya ever since I got this scope I never realized just how many cloudy nights there are in a month. On the bright side you're always looking forward to the next clear sky. Setting up never gets old and boring when it finally clears its just as exciting setting up as the last session.

Orion is up and I'm hoping to capture the Horsehead Nebula next time I have clear sky.

What a cold bleak dull place. :) :up:

The scope is an Orion 203mm f/4.9. Primary camera is a ZWO 183MC Pro, mounted on the scope is a 60mm guide scope. Not shown ZWO 120MC guide camera, cant use it photographing the moon. All of this mounted on a Celestron AVX goto mount. Well within its weight capacity. Oh ya I also have a really kewl gadget called the QHY Polemaster which greatly assists in polar alignment.

Also not shown is my Honda EU2000 generator :). I will need that in the field once I start photographing DSOs.


Since I spent my money on a Hatsan 135 rifle Im hoping Santa Claus gets me a Explore Scientific 203mm f/3.9 Carbon fiber scope.

Awesome pictures, Rockstar. Have you been able to observe any planets yet. Rockin Robbins is also into astronomy and uses basic laptops in conjunction with his star gazing.





Thanks for sharing.

I have observed the Sun, Saturn,Jupiter and Mercury but I'm not really set up yet for taking planetary photos.

Very nice! :rock:

Great Scott! Beautiful picture!
