I have a big 14" Celestron and Meade SCT scopes, but the little Takahashi takes good shots and is a easy setup.

Got some great shots tonight taking a pic of the Horsehead nebula right now.

Astronomy is mind-blowing. Great pic you took! :thumb:
Its cool being able to see into the past.

I think I just saw June Lockhart and Angela Cartwright in one of those pics. Cool.

I hope they find their way home. I've been worried about them for years.

uh, thats pretty slick you can do that in your backyard dave.

drool.

Cool stuff Dave, but don't tick off the aliens!

Great Video find Dave, truely inspiring. I love the narrators voice as well!

I am now a huge fan of this guy.

philhellenes on youtube. He makes a tons of great videos!
I love this type of stuff, I am in awe.

Here's a little better shot of the same area I took last night with a little more detail and a longer exposure...

I stepped out of a super nova...and then my mom yelled, "Be sure to wipe your shoes before you come into the house." I hate that b****!

New pic same area but a 30 Minutes exposure...

I see the Lord Jesus Christ in your pic.
Can you see it Dave?

Whoa...awesome!!!

What resolution are your pics? Can't check from my iPod. I might use on as my comp background if it's at least 1920 x 1080.

I should be able to get that close. The raw image is about 3200 x 2500. I'm using it for my background and it looks pretty cool.

I'm amazed that a personal/private telescope can get those images. That's a great piece of technology.

do these "star parties" have pizza, beer, chicks, that sort of thing, or are they more for like looking at the sky and stuff?
