A few nice Sky-Watcher telescope images I found: Comète 17P/Holmes Téléscope Sky-Watcher Pro 80ED An aged and weathered rock Processed with levels, curves and unsharp mask. Taken through the 25mm Plossl eyepiece of my Sky-watcher 200 telescope. A few nice Nikon telescope images I found: Stift Melk telescope Library telescope sitting next to one of it’s windows. Luna Snapped out the back of my garage Moon Some cool Astro telescope images: ED-80 Telescope – Flats Box Part deux – Annotated A wet Easter Sunday, and I thought a little more about my astro-imaging flat box project. When astro imaging a flat or neutral field image can be used in an image stack to remove dust motes and other strays that would be very hard to remove in Photoshop. A t-Shirt at dawn over the telescope aperture is one possibility, however, never one to take the easy path here is a box made out of foam core and a 3 ring binder translucent cover with liberal use of all purpose glue. Baffles are now in place along with the diffuser to allow the white leds to be fitted. telescopes in the burn house telescopes in the burn house A few nice Pulsar telescope images I found: CSIRO Parkes Radio Telescope The Parkes Observatory is a radio telescope observatory, 20 kilometres north of the town of Parkes, New South Wales, Australia. It was one of several radio antennas used to receive images of the Apollo 11 moon landing in July 1969. CSIRO Parkes radio telescope is the largest and oldest of the eight antennas comprising the ‘Australian Telescope National Facility’. The Compact Array of six 22-metre dishes near Narrabri and another near Coonabarabran link up with the 64 metre Parkes to synthesise a telescope some 300 kilometres across. Since commissioning in 1961, Parkes Observatory has been responsible for many world firsts in radio astronomy. Highlights include: the identification of the first known Quasar in 1963; mapping of important regions in the galaxy, the Milky Way; participating in the NASA Apollo Moon missions, Voyager II encounter of Neptune in 1989, Mars missions in 2004; ESO’s Giotto Spacecraft encounter of Halleys Comet in 1986; Galileo Spacecraft’s exploration of Jupiter and its moons in 1997; Cassini Huygens mission to Saturn and Titan in 2005; all sky radio surveys of the Southern Skies; Pulsar survey work including the discovery of the first double Pulsar system in 2003; SETI Project Phoenix; and an ongoing search for hidden galaxies.
