Chrissyo’s Astrophotography

Posted by admin on September 30th, 2009 and filed under astrophotography | 25 Comments »

This is an arrangement of a bunch of my astrophotographs. They were all taken from 2005 up until early 2007. About half of these images were taken with a Dobsonian mount whereas the other half were taken with an EQ6 mount.

These images and more can be found at my deviantART page:

The music is Moonlight Sonata.

Enjoy! If you have questions, feel free to ask :)

Chrissyo’s Astrophotography 2

Posted by admin on September 24th, 2009 and filed under astrophotography | 25 Comments »

I thought it was about time to update my Chrissyos Astrophotography video with my new images. These images were taken between May 2007 and now (when the video was uploaded). It is mostly solar system related stuff. There is in order the Sun, Venus, the International Space Station, the Moon, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. In each section the images are displayed from the newest to the oldest.

There are a number of different equipment combinations Ive used for these images though all were taken with a 10 Newtonian telescope. All of the images were taken using an EQ6 tracking mount except for the ISS images which used a Dobsonian mount. For the images of the Sun a solar filter was used. The greyscale images were taken using a DMK21AU04.AS while the colour images were taken using a Panasonic video camera.
