These are some of my attempts to get a decent shot of some of the brighter objects in the sky using a Sony Mavica, Nikon CoolPix 4500, Canon 20Da, or Canon 30D digital camera alone, or placed up next to a telescope's eyepiece. All images are from the Sony Mavica unless otherwise noted. You may click on each image for a separate, enlarged view. Close the pop-up window to return to this page. |

Unless specified otherwise all images on this page were obtained with a Sony Mavica FD88, AE Sunset & Moon mode through a Televue 9mm Nagler eyepiece with Paracorr on a 20" f/5 Obsession telescope (328x magnification) from midtown Tucson, AZ. Additional zoom magnification has been estimated where applicable. No post image processing performed except for cropping and where otherwise noted. |
