Care to take a look at some "really amateur" astrophotography? Then come on in...
Welcome!
Unless otherwise noted, all of these photos were taken with an ordinary Nikkon 35mm automatic camera, hand-held to the eyepiece of the telescope! The results aren't always the greatest. but it will show what you can do it you try!
ssssh... my favorite! Mercury's grazing transit...
These next photographs were done by a friend, and fellow astronomer, Tom Andrews! Enjoy...
Comet Hale-Bopp
The Saggitarius Region... (if I could chose only one to look at the rest of my life.. this would be it!)
The M31 - "Andromeda" Galaxy
The "Horsehead" Nebula
The M42 "Orion" Nebula
(Thanks, Tom! For allowing me to share your great photographs!)
This photo was also taken by a photographer friend of mine, Tim Jensen. It shows a close conjunction between the Moon and Venus... as seen from the city!
In the backyard...
Jupiter and Saturn dance!
And Venus and the Moon smoke up the sky...
Are you bored yet? Good! There's still plenty more photos and tunes to go around...
