    Wow! Very nice work! Especially solar and planetary. Great M57 shot too, central white dwarf easily visible – beautiful.

    I’m taking the AP plunge soon and investing in a Canon T1i – hope I do as well :)

    Danke vielmals. Ja …
    Danke vielmals. Ja das Hobby ist mit der Digitaltechnik in ungeahnte Möglichkeiten vorgestoßen! NYC ist in der Tat denkbar ungünstig. Atmosphärische Ruhe und eine niedriges air glow / light pollution ist mit hauptverantwortlich für gute Bilder…. Zu den Kosten: Ab 3.000 Euro geht es schon los mit der Astrofotografie.

    Wunderbar! Das ist echt ein phantastisches hobby – wenn ich dafuer nur genug geld haette… Auserdem ist es hier in NYC viel zu dafuer
    Ich kann kaum glauben das solche aufnahmen von der erde aus moeglich sind – die atmoshphaere ist doch ein riesiges hinderniss oder?
    Viel weiteren erfolg wuensche ich ihnen!

    Many thanks. The original Canon XSI can be modified (HUTECH for example)to get nearly same images. My Canon EOS 20Da (a) stands for astronomy is only made for astrophotography

    This is amazing, I wasn’t aware you could see this far into space with consumer telescopes. I always assumed only the hubble, or spitzer could view space like that. Is there anything else that goes into making these photographs, other than focusing on them, and taking snapshots? They’re so clear!
