Image Gallery
As a rule, if an image on this site appears in an informational frame, then it has
been 'flipped' to appear as it does in the sky. Otherwise, it appears just as it
does through the ETX eyepiece which, because of the diagonal mirror, is reversed
with respect to the true "sky" view.
Best Images - These are some of the best that I've taken.
Messier Objects - I seem to have gotten it into my head that
I should try to get shots of as many Messier objects as I can.
Images and experiments day-by-day:
(Apologies to Liem Bahneman for pretty much
just copying his "diary" format.)
