Well Ive been going crazy and trying to get some gazing time .
I knew I had some photo equipment coming from Santa , but I had to wait.
Here are 2 photos I took one on Dec 10th and saturn with the webcam last night .The webcam shots will get better.It was my first try.
I am really lookin forward to getting some more viewing time.
The next equipment I want to get is a wedge and take some galaxy and nebulae shots...the vertical and horizontal movement of the goto is okay but not the best for photos .
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVEYONE.
Oh Ya.. I took Saturn with the logitech 5000 webcam and used Registax 4 , still learing that program.
The Moon shot was my first time with a Canon Rebel XT , I've/WE never had such a good camera , Im on the learning curve again , the moon shot was taken at 1600 shutter speed and I played with Curves in photoshop .One thing for sure have patience , to get 1 photo is a process that can take a few hours and give satisfying results and can only get better with more practice
