A few nice Celestron telescope images I found:
Aborted star / Estrella abortada
Jupiter, taken with Celestron C6-N, 12.5mm. eyepiece, ISO50, 1/60″ of exposure and 3x optical zoom. The focus is terribly difficult.
This is been from my second astrophotographic session. I have learned to connect and to disconnect the camera quickly, and already have shortened the time of framing. For the next one I will try to improve the focusing.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the solar system. It is two and a half times as massive as all of the other planets in our solar system combined. Jupiter, along with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, is classified as a gas giant. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets. Jovian is the adjectival form of Jupiter; the Greek equivalent Zeus supplies the root zeno-, used to form some Jupiter-related words, such as zenographic.
When viewed from Earth, Jupiter can reach an apparent magnitude of -2.8, making it the fourth brightest object in the night sky. The planet was known by astronomers of ancient times and was associated with the mythology and religious beliefs of many cultures. The Romans named it after Jupiter, the principal God of Roman mythology, whose name is a reduction of ‘Deus Pater’, meaning ‘God father’. Some etymological theories suggest that “Deus Pater” comes from the Proto-Indo-European nominative form *dyeus ph2ter while “Jupiter” is descended from *dyeu ph2ter, the vocative form
Pleiades (Messier 45, M45)
30 90 second (@ISO800) subexposures of the Pleiades were taken with a Canon 300D at prime focus on a Celestron C6-N telescope. The 30 sub exposures were sigma median stacked in Iris. Curves, gradient removal and noise reduction was done in Photoshop. Poor transparency and some due contributed a bit to the blue halos around the stars, but you still can see some of the nebulosity that is supposed to be there!
M103
An open cluster of stars.
Telescope Celestron 6 inch Schmidt-Cassegrian (f10) on CG5 mount. Prime focus. Single frame 1 minute exposure Canon 50D at ISO800.
