I am out here imaging tonight with Murphy. I am building a new Portable Rig. It is going to be my first attempt with a GEM. it's a Celestron CG5. Bought it on Astromart. I will put the Takahashi on it and guide with a 200 or 300 mm camera lens that I have a 1.25": adapter to accept my Lodestarar. The mount will be here this weekend. I took a widefield shot tonight with a 100mm lens on my DSLR (not my modified one) . Just a shot of the Southern Sky around Altair, guided, no filter 3 minutes. I was surprised by it. The image is stretched pretty bad, but I got data! My first widefield was much simpler than my first DSO much simpler. See: Sky Around Altair I am trying to get a image of the NGC 6946 tonight. Having enough tracking problems that I think I will go to bed. I would like to see some images posted from you and other members of the Society.

I am just starting into astrophotography myself. I hope to get to where you are sometime in the near future. Great Job. I teach at Indian Hills Middle School in East Sandy, Just on the border of Draper. Is that the same school you are talking about? Mark Mark Shelton Indian Hills Middle School CTE Tech Ed.

I image with a Hutech Modified Canon T3i on the Takahahsi ( I just got a light pollution filter for it that I have not tried). I guide with a Starlite Xpress Lodestar using Nebulosity for image capture and PHD for guiding. I process with Nebulosity and Photoshop. I am an intermediate beginner. I have finally gotten descent tracking with the ability to get 10 minute exposures. The sky glow has really made me have fight Signal to Noise problems, especially with the fires. I am just starting out, but I am getting some success. Steve Gallenson PS. Indian Hills is my childhood hood. Curtis Elementary, Hillside and Clayton and Highland.
