Tim Woos` Astronomy Images
I am a member of the Vermont Astronomical Society, or VAS. We are stationed in Burlington, Vermont. For more information about our club, click here. I take pictures through our scopes, so I thought I'd share them with you.
Pictures of the transit of venus on June 8, 2004 taken through a homemade 6-inch f/6 Maksutov-Newtonian with a Toucam Pro 2
Pictures of the moon I took the same morning
I finished the 5-inch, and it's a very nice scope. The mirror took me hundreds of hours to make, and I had to stay home from school a lot to finish it.
This is a picture of the lunar eclipse on October 27, 2004 with geese flying across it.
I took many frames of Saturn with my webcam and a friend's LX2000 telescope, then stacked them and used Photoshop elements to sharpen.
Here's another Saturn picture. We used the same process, but a different friend's 9" Celestron SCT.
Same as above, but stacked differently and rotated.
This was taken through my 5" f/11.4 newtonian with a Toucam Pro 2 camera on 3/25/05. 39 stacked frames, and processed in photoshop.
Taken through 5" with Toucam on 3/26/05. Stacked and processed in Registax. Notice Io on the left (you may have to adjust your monitor's brightness; it's pretty faint!).
