This is a shot from the old observatory location near Grambling with a 105mm Nikkor on the D100 piggy backed. It is a stack of 3 30 second images. I could have been more careful about the shutter, there is a bit of double imaging on two of the files from firing the shutter and there are some streak that the flat didn't remove. Still, nice to get an image.... Processed with IRIS.
The astronomy club was out this night to watch the Orionids.

Back to astronomy again. This is first light for the Meade DSI Pro II. I used the 80mm f5 refractor on an alt-azimuth mount to take seven two-second exposures. The best five were stacked in IRIS and logarithmically scaled. The final levels adjust and conversion to jpeg was done in Photoshop Elements. The refractor not apochromatic and the focusing was done by eye off the live preview of the CCD. I would have done longer exposures but the mount tracking was off for exposures longer than two seconds. Not bad results considering the circumstances.
The next goal is to piggy back the 80mm on the LX55 mount or the Celestron CGE and do some longer time exposures.
