| Me and the
new scope on my deck after an early-morning attempt at
Saturn. |
Me, with
Jupiter in the palm of my hand...Cheezy, yes. |
My current
setup. April, '07. |
This photo
gives you a good idea of how much light pollution I have
to deal with in about the darkest place I have available
nearby, a local golf course. |

This was soon
after I got the new telescope. The paper around the end
of the scope was an early attempt at a dew/glare shield. |
My first
autoguiding setup with my 10 year old K-Mart special
mounted piggy-backed for guidance. It worked - barely.
Winter, '07. |

| The old
telescope with a 135mm lens piggybacked for wide-angle
photos. It's a lot of weight for that scope to carry. |

This is me
trying to get some pictures of Mercury just after sunset
on 6/27/05. It was so low to the horizon, though, that it
was too blurry to get any keep-able pictures. |
