Collage from last night's session, FUN!

Weather was perfect last night, cool & no wind at all.
Took my portable setup to The Everglades (Area51) and shot these objects within a period of 4 hours... needless to say, had a great time!

All these shots were taken with the Orion Starshoot & the WO SD-66mm scope. (10x3min subs)


Clear skies, and thanks for taking the time to visit! 8)

Cool Ivan, wish I had some clear skies!

Ivan,
Looks like you had a really good night and got some excellent results.

Ivan,

Now this is what it's all about! Fun, and some nice images to show for it! Great job on all!

Eric

Sounds like a great time Ivan

You came back with some great images too!
The Running Man would have too be my favorite

Great shots Ivan!! I have been imaging the same 4 objects over the last few clear nights up here in Chattanooga. I am using the Orion Starshoot II single shot color imager. Is yours the monochrome version and the LRGB filter wheel? Also I am shooting thru the Orion Starblast f/4 imging scope. I needs a maskto cover the retaining tabs on the mirror. The sharp corners of the 3 tabs produce 6 sets of diffraction spikes in addition to the four from the secondary's spider. It looks like reducing the aperture 4-6mm will do the trick (114mm down to 109) Not much of a sacrifice in otherwise great optics.

Some exposure data??
