A few nice Sky-Watcher telescope images I found:
Comète 17P/Holmes
Téléscope Sky-Watcher Pro 80ED
Exposition 60 secondes / ISO 200
Canon Rebel Digital XTi
An aged and weathered rock
Processed with levels, curves and unsharp mask.
Taken through the 25mm Plossl eyepiece of my Sky-watcher 200 telescope.
Check out these Pulsar telescope images:
47 Tucanae: A globular cluster located about 15,000 light years from Earth in the constellation of Tucana.
Description: This Chandra image provides the first complete census of compact binary stars in the core of the globular cluster known as 47 Tucanae. As the oldest stellar systems in the Milky Way Galaxy, globular clusters are laboratories for stellar and dynamical evolution. Nearly all objects in the Chandra images are “binary systems,” in which a normal, Sun-like star companion orbits a collapsed star, either a white dwarf or neutron star. The data also reveal the presence of “millisecond pulsars” that rotate extremely rapidly, between 100 to nearly 1000 times a second.
Creator/Photographer: Chandra X-ray Observatory
NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, which was launched and deployed by Space Shuttle Columbia on July 23, 1999, is the most sophisticated X-ray observatory built to date. The mirrors on Chandra are the largest, most precisely shaped and aligned, and smoothest mirrors ever constructed. Chandra is helping scientists better understand the hot, turbulent regions of space and answer fundamental questions about origin, evolution, and destiny of the Universe. The images Chandra makes are twenty-five times sharper than the best previous X-ray telescope. NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala., manages the Chandra program for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate in Washington. The Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory controls Chandra science and flight operations from the Chandra X-ray Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Question by Planet: What astronomy binocs should i get from Orion Telescope?
I want to upgrade ..thinking of image stabilizer ones.
my current ones ..glass is cracked …
bushnell instafocus
10×50
field 5.5
would like higher mag also, price not an issue because I want a better pair.

Answer by GeoffG
The Orion Scenix 10×50s have received consistently good reviews from people like Phil Harrington and Robert Thompson. I have Celestron Pro 10×50s, no longer available but apparently very similar to Orion UltaViews. Going to a higher magnification is a mistake; they will be harder to hold steady. 10×50 is the sweet spot for binoculars. If you want more magnification, you’re better with a telescope on a proper mount.
