Welcome! I'd like to share my appreciation
for the wonders of the Universe. As a child, I fell in love with the
night sky, and started in astronomy at an early age. Having used
telescopes ranging from 2" up to 8", I've also enjoyed peering through
fellow astronomers' scopes, as large as 21".
I use a Celestron CPC800, an 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain scope, primarily for viewing Deep Space Objects (DSOs), but also use a 4" refractor for viewing the moon, planets and double stars.
I took these astrophotographs using a telescope/ camera subscription service named SLOOH (www.slooh.com). By renting time on their equipment, anyone can photograph the universe when it is convenient for them, and save the images to their own PC. Now I'm sharing my pictures with you.
