	Oh yeah I've seen them too. http://img24.imageshack.us/img24/3476/venusconunction.jpg I was surprised my camera can make out the phase of venus.

	Cool! ... Next you'll be buying a spectrometer.

Yayo gave a link on how to build a simple one a while back in this thread.

Now that i have this new camera, i might make one :]

	very good picture! you make me wish I was somewhere where I could set my telescope up and leave it set up... meh there IS no gravity: the world sucks!.

	ISS and shuttle Discovery on the STS-119 mission. 6 second exposure Strong wind, hence the shaking. http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/4850/issshuttle.jpg

	Looks sort of like a spectrogram

	And here's my first try to photograph the International Space Station through a telescope. http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/5559/spacestation.jpg Exposure was 1/640, ISO was 1250 net time I'll try a lower ISO setting, the station is overexposed. I'll edit when I'll identify what can be see on the photo.

	Heh, that's really nice! If I were you, I'd try with a faster exposure and leave the ISO as it is (or move it to one that allows for a faster shot). I assume you have the f-stop open at maximum. Did you compose this image, or are these actual successive exposures? (and, if so, they must have been five shots in a fraction of a second, how did you do that?).

written by Mcwgogs on Mar 18, 2009 21:00


	The Exposure is short enough. I don't see any motion blur, i was hand guiding the telescope after the station, so the relative motion was low enough, and the lower the ISO, the better the quality. And yes, this is a compose image, it's quite hard to catch the station in the eyepiece. these are all the "hits". And here's a picture of Pleiades, 17 stacked photos, no scope. http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3231/plejady.jpg I've also Ceres, as well as yesterday, i'll shot it next nights, and make an animation.

oatmeal, are you crazy?

	I miss the Pleiades. You can't see them at all here in Charlotte.

	I'm just glad ABB has an astronomer who provided us with sky pictures. I went out to lake ella the other not and got a view of saturn from a nice volunteer astronomer. it was a fun night, I got to stand around like an idea, finger pointed to the sky and ask people to gaze upwards and view a space station.

	Here's a ISS flyby, 50 second exposure. http://img178.imageshack.us/img178/4093/iss.jpg

	And here's a better picure of the ISS, you can see the solar panels, radiators and shuttle Discovery. http://img440.imageshack.us/img440/2074/spacestat.jpg ISO 800, expo 1/500s

	The most distant thing I've ever photographed with my bare camera. M81 and M82 galaxies, that's 12 million light years away. http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/2812/galaktyki.jpg Left is a screenshot from starry night
