Some pictures from last night

[Mike]

Well, I went out stalking the moon and Jupiter last night.

I took my camera with me too, it is not ideal for taking pictures of planets with, but good for the moon

Moon:





Jupiter and Io, Ganymede, Callisto & Europa:


^^need a proper CCD Astro camera to get the ideal pictures of the planets

Not visible from here, only Asia Pacific will see it. But If I do see the moon going t-bag colour, then I'll be out there again

Nice photos Mike, I'm getting more into this sort of thing over the last few years.

Where we are there's not many streetlights at night and when it's clear it's facsinating!!!

Mine were two stops under-exposed, that gets rid of the glare!!!

I am looking forward to going to Scotland in Feb for very dark skies!

We were in the Lakes (Kirkoswald) last February and it was something else up there right out in the sticks. The stars were all so bright and defined!!!

GJ Mike I did some a while back which worked out quite well considering it was sat on a 20yr old tripod http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomwigley/3579711976/.

I keep meaning to go out and do some starfield images but it's sooooo damned cold!!


I wish I had your scope though, fitting a DSLR to that would be epic. I can appreciate your obsession

Nice pics!!!! Love that moon one of yours, pretty clear.

I have the right fitment for the DSLR, but taking pics of the planets is not easy lol!!!
