This is an arrangement of a bunch of my astrophotographs. They were all taken from 2005 up until early 2007. About half of these images were taken with a Dobsonian mount whereas the other half were taken with an EQ6 mount.

These images and more can be found at my deviantART page:

The music is Moonlight Sonata.

Enjoy! If you have questions, feel free to ask :)

  • Great work!

  • @SaturnAndItsRings Thanks! :)

  • You say you used a Panasonic video camera. Is that digital? How did you do it, just prop it up on top of the eyepiece?

  • The video camera uses MiniDV tapes. And yep, I made a simple bracket that held the camera up to the eyepiece of the scope. I filmed the stuff I wanted, then the camera could be connected to the computer with a firewire cable/card. I used some free video capture software to upload the footage to the computer. I can't remember the name of the software though, I haven't used the video camera with my telescope in years.

  • Okay man has landed on the moon because when they did they put mirrors on it. Then out in Califonia they fire huge lasers at those mirros and measure how long it takes to come back. So MAN HAS LANDED ON THE MOON!

  • Those moon closeups are excellent...

  • i could take puctures of jupiter all day, er, i mean night

  • Wow. Another ChrissyO. That is kinda weird since my dad had a telescope on my roof when I was a kid....

  • What do I need to start Astrophotography? I'm gonna buy the Canon Eos 1000D. So with that camera I only need an adapter and a decent telescope?

    thanks

  • It's a 10" F5 GSO Newtonian.

  • Exactly what telescope did you use? I'm thinking of getting a dobsonian. Maybe Zhumell?
