Extractions: Reinhard Ilk (minimum resolution: 800 x 600 - best resolution: 1024 x 768) Hello and welcome to my world of the night skies' splendors. On a dark evening at a holiday location at the sea some of us may have a look at the stars above, saying "Oh, what a sky, this is something we never have at home!" But indeed we do have a sky like this, but we do not care! We don't take the time for going out of the city just a few dozens of kilometers, for if we did, we'd see a universe, the scale of which we hadn't been aware of for much too long. Most of the pictures you can see here were taken at a location not far away from suburban city lights (30 to 80 km from the city of Vienna, Austria). The pictures shall illustrate both vanity and eternity in our universe. Dying stars and their remnants, from which the cradles of a new generation of stars form, on the one hand. Clusters of galaxies, which may have persisted in their structure since the ignition of first starlight, on the other. I tried to lay down some details to all of these objects in a few explanatory remarks which you can read after clicking at the images. In addition, you will be able to watch the objects at higher resolution. As you might wish to visit other websites designed more professionally, I have added a few crosslinks to pages of other astro- photography amateurs. Mine won't improve so swiftly for ... oh, I think I have to finish ... the clouds break up, and I have to hurry shuffling my scope into my car. Sorry, but I have to leave you alone with my pictures now. Enjoy. Maybe we'll meet each other out there on the hills?

Spacewatch Friday - Astrophotography 101: How To Take Stellar Pictures
Making the transition from normal photography to astrophotography is relatively easy. astrophotography is a special adaptation of ordinary photography.
http://www.space.com/spacewatch/astrophotography_101_030627.html

Extractions: You may have seen some of the beautiful photographs of sky objects that have been taken over the years by contributors to SPACE.com . Perhaps you've even wondered whether it might be possible for you to take photos of the night sky. The answer is most definitely "yes." In fact, making the transition from normal photography to astrophotography is relatively easy. Astrophotography is a special adaptation of ordinary photography. You can make some interesting photographs of stars even with inexpensive equipment. The basics A fixed 35 mm camera should be mounted on a sturdy tripod to hold it rock steady. Try also to use a tripod with a three-way pan head. This makes it easier to aim your camera and frame the desired field. The camera must have a "B" or "T" setting, to allow the shutter to remain open for as long as you want. Many automatic cameras can't do this. You'll need a cable release to allow tripping the shutter and locking it open without physically touching the shutter button, which can cause vibration. Don't try to hold the shutter button down with your finger - jiggling of the camera is almost inevitable.

Getting Started In Astrophotography
Getting Started in astrophotography. by Michael Oates. Camera. To get started in astrophotography you don t need much in the way of equipment.
http://www.u-net.com/ph/mas/observe/start-p/starting.htm

Extractions: Getting Started in Astrophotography Camera Shutter Cable Release Tripod Film ... Notes The aim of this article to give some basic advice to those who would like to have a go at taking some photographs of the night sky, and who don't want, at this stage, to spend much money on equipment. So I will mention where possible any alternative methods or equipment that can be used. It is also aimed at those who have little or no knowledge in astronomy and/or photography, but I do assume you know how to load the camera with film etc. To get started in astrophotography you don't need much in the way of equipment. A camera is required of course, and can be of any type, as long as it has manual control of the aperture (or at least some manual override) and a "B" shutter setting. This shutter setting enables the shutter to be kept open for as long as you press the shutter release. Although almost any camera can be used the best type is an SLR Single Lens Reflex that allows the changing of the lenses, so that a telephoto lens can be used to show a smaller area of the sky. It is best to avoid automatic cameras as the electronics, or at least the battery can fail in the low temperatures that the camera can be subjected to in the cold nights of winter. Having said this to get started, so long as there is a "B" setting any camera will do. If the camera allows interchangeable lenses you should use either the standard lens or wide angle. To use telephoto lenses requires some form of driven mount.
The Bell Observatory
Astro photos using a 16 f/4.7 Newtonian that is mounted inside a 10 ft ProDome.
http://www.mindspring.com/~sb635/

Extractions: Welcome to The Bell Observatory Hi, my name is Steve Bell. This is my astroimaging page. Here, I describe the telescope I use, and give links to the astroimages that I've taken. I do CCD imaging with a SBIG ST-8E from a location SE of Denver, CO which has relatively dark mag 5.5 - 6.0 skies and lies at about a 6500 ft altitude. Some of the images were taken from my previous light polluted site in a SW suburb of Denver. Any comments you might have are welcomed. The telescope I use is a 16.25" f/4.7 Newtonian that is permanently mounted inside a 10 ft ProDome from Technical Innovations, Inc . The dome sits on a concrete slab in my backyard (click on the above image for a larger view). I have to say that my ProDome has greatly added to the pleasure of using my scope, and has drastically cut down the time it takes to setup an astroimage. It is a great pleasure and benefit to be able to take advantage of those clear nights when possible. Another feature of the dome is its ease of disassembly, which was greatly appreciated for the move to my new dark site location. Please note that at the end of each of my image's page, there usually is a link to the fine pages of the Students for Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS). Each SEDS page usually contains an excellent image of the object taken at the Anglo-Australian Observatory, and also contains very interesting astronomical information.

P1600 rated at 1600ASA gives great contrast and a pleasing deep blue sky. Ektachrome 400 and Fujichrome 400 both give you a greenish tint to the sky, which is not as good. P1600 costs twice as much as the others though, and the push processing required also adds to the cost. Back to top April 5, 2003, 11min f4 150mm lens on Fujichrome 400 pushed 1 stop.

Extractions: This picture of my Meade LX 50 10 inch telescope should give you an idea of what I am using to take these photographs. I took this photograph on 3/12/99 at Lemon Lake in Cedar Lake Indiana. The sun was just setting in the background and a blanket of snow was covering the ground. Several of the photographs on this page were taken with this telescope and guided with the Meade ETX 90 , others were taken with the Orion Short Tube 80mm Refracting Telescope and guided with the LX 50. You can click on any of the thumb nail pictures to get the full size scan. I have tried to keep the scans at their original size but, a little variation in actual size has been noted. Click here for more information on the Meade LX-50 Telescope The camera that I use is the Minolta Maxxum 7000i SLR. All of these photographs have been edited in either Corel Photopaint 5.0 Microsoft Photodraw 2000 Picture Windows or combination of the three. Moon.jpg

Aero Ektar lens Although I started in 1970, most of my best photographs have been taken from the mid 1980's onwards on slide film. Around 1980 I bought an ex arial photography lens, a 178mm f2.5 Aero Ektar lens. I mounted this to fit a 35mm camera body and guided it on a Vixen Polaris mount with either a 6" f6, or 4" f4.5 reflector. This system worked very well and travelled to the excellent skies over mount Teide in Tenerife in April 1986 for the apparition of Halley's comet The images below are a selection taken with the 178mm, my 14" reflector or a 55mm f2 'standard' lens on films such as hypered Tech Pan 2415 and Scotch Chrome 1000 slide film, which was a good film for it's day despite giving a greenish background. Images were scanned from prints by myself or directly from the negatives by Tony Williams. The full sized images can be opened by clicking on the thumbnails, some of the full sized images are rather large in order to preserve quality, but most of the images shown below are typically 150Kb. For best results view the images at about 50% size on the screen to lessen the effects of film grain. Taken with the 14" reflector
