Imaging Resource article by: Bret McKee (Original posting date November 20, 1999) Introduction The night sky has been a source of wonderment for as long as there have been people to gaze up at it. The ancients believed that there was magic in the celestial bodies and even named them for their deities and heroes. It is not surprising that people love to photograph those objects and that viewers are invariably impressed with almost any decent astrophotograph. While taking spectacular photos of deep space objects like nebula and galaxies requires special equipment and lots of practice, it is fairly straightforward to take good photographs of the relatively bright objects in our solar system. It is quite easy to take photographs of the moon, and while it is more challenging to take photographs of the planets it might be possible for anyone with access to a telescope.

43. Astrophotography With A Small Telescope It is, however, appropriate to suggest that an inexpensive tool used by wide field astrophotographers may be applicable for use with small unmounted http://www.eclipsechaser.com/eclink/astrotec/aphotsmt.htm

ADVENTURES IN ASTROPHOTOGRAPHY WITH A SMALL TELESCOPE Presented at the 1988 Riverside Telescope Makers Conference by: Jeffrey R. Charles Owner and Chief Engineer of VERSACORP http://www.versacorp.com jcharles@versacorp.com Contents: Introduction Telescopes Without Equatorial Mountings Photographing Terrestrial Objects with Your Telescope Photographing the Sun, Moon, Eclipses, Occultations, etc. Simple and Effective Short Duration Tracking Methods Afocal Photography of Brighter Stars and Planets Telescopes with Equatorial Mountings and Sidereal Drive Guiding Techniques Afocal and Eyepiece Projection Planetary Photography Deep-Sky Photography (and CCD Imaging) Prime Focus Off-Axis Guided Photography: Step by Step Photography with Auxiliary Optics Telecompressors, Barlow Lenses, Filters, etc. Optimum Use of AutoGuiders (a new section) Other Techniques (a new section) Astrophotography Exposure Guide Images INTRODUCTION This article is mainly for those who have only a small telescope, and is intended to show you just what can be done with such an instrument. Even if you also have a larger instrument it is good to know what your old observing buddy can do since its portability will likely allow you to take it along when you travel. Besides, using a small telescope is just plain fun! All photos shown here were taken with a 4" aperture or smaller instrument. We will cover the full spectrum of available subjects, from terrestrial and lunar to planets and deep-sky objects. As will be seen, small telescopes are capable of producing good photos of deep-sky objects, even at relatively large image scales, with today's fast color films. Since finances may be a factor for many, a minimum of accessory equipment will be stressed for each application.

Face it, you spend far too many nights ignoring your sweetheart and playing with your telescope. Tell her how much you love her by purchasing a unique piece of jewelry from our sponsor: Preface This is nearly a complete re-write of the previous version of my astrophotography cookbook. The fundamental changes between this version and the previous are: My acquisition order is now: Flat Dark, Flat Light, Light, Dark. I no longer capture nor use Offsets. I now use a Light Box for Flats (as opposed to using the twilight sky). My new Canon Rebel XT (350D) requires a new version of DSLRfocus for focusing and capture. With some wonderful new features in IRIS, my processing flow is more logical and more robust.

45. Wide-Field Astrophotography Use of SLR film cameras and simple tracking equipment. http://www.eskimo.com/~rachford/widefield/widefield.html

A Wide-Field Astrophotography Page Welcome to my wide-field astrophotography page! Notice that I call it "A" wide-field astrophotography page. The information is not intended to be comprehensive by any means. The emphasis here is on astrophotography with SLR film cameras and simple tracking equipment. Other than a recent (Nov 2003) rescan of the photos to much improve their digital appearance, these pages have not been updated for a while. Most of this information dates back to 1996-7, but much of it is still useful, even if you are using a digital SLR. Who am I? More information about me and how these pages came about. Equipment Information about cameras, lenses, film, etc. Barndoor drives Includes detailed plans for building a simple barndoor drive like the ones I've used to take the photos on these pages. Targets Recommended targets for your camera, including images. Numbers Field-of-view, plate scale, relative light gathering power, etc. for different lenses. Astrophoto Gallery A more extensive portfolio of my images than given in the "Targets" link above. All photos on these pages are Brian Rachford. You may download a copy of each image for personal use. Educational use is generally fine, too, but any publication of the images requires my permission.

Information Welcome to the astrophotography corner of my personal web site. Here you'll find my photos of astronomical objects ranging from nearby subjects such as meteors, the moon, planets, and the sun, to distant objects such as gas and dust clouds and star clusters inside our galaxy, to galaxies outside our own Milky Way galaxy. My special interests are wide-field photos (as opposed to highly magnified views such as from the Hubble telescope), and especially of challenging transient targets such as meteors, comets, and eclipses. For most of these photos, I prefer to continue to shoot film, though you will also find some electronic images here too. I welcome any questions or comments you care to send, especially if you are also interested in astrophotography. I hope the technical info I have on the site will aid and encourage your own astrophotography efforts.

Updated 31 July 2001 Welcome to Joe Roberts Astrophotography! On this site you will find amateur astrophotos which I have taken over the period 1974 to present. Unlike many similar sites, within are images that are typical of beginner results (in addition to some decent images of course!). Such images will help to give those who are contemplating astrophotography as a hobby some idea of what to expect at first. Astrophotography is a very challenging and demanding field! However, technology has made astrophotography easier than it has ever been. Improved films, CCD cameras, and digital image processing now allow an amateur to take photos that rival those taken by large observatory telescopes 20 to 30 years ago. Use the menu buttons below to further explore! NOTE: You might want to Calibrate Your Monitor in order to best view the images on this site.
