Sorry for the 5-year, uh, intermission! To catch you up to the moment, I recently acquired a new scope for observing and astro imaging! Who-hoo! It's a Celstron Nexstar Evolution 8, and it's the first-ever Wi-fi-enabled scope. What that means is, it carries its own computer and Wi-fi, which the user hooks up to via a cool app (on a smart phone or tablet) that shows the night sky. Anyhow, I took my first images with it last night, just holding the camera up to the eyepiece--I'll start learning prime focus imaging in the weeks to come, where you attach the camera to the back of the scope using adapters. Hope you like this first attempt!
And don't forget to check out the total lunar eclipse this Saturday morning EARLY! Totality will only be about 4 minutes long, just before 5AM PST! Supposed to be cloudy here, but... miracles do happen! I'll try to post more on the eclipse before Saturday. Tah-tah for now!
