Hi all. I just posted a couple of new images to my Utah Astronomy gallery. The first is a new version of the Orion and Running Man Nebulas. This image is lots deeper than the earlier version, and includes a hi-res pic, if you click the thumbnail at this link: http://www.utahastronomy.com/album16/Utah_Astronomy_Orion_Heb_OR The second is an image of the nearly full moon (99.77%). This image was chosen as ATWB photo of the day a while back. It was taken with a Nikon Coolpix 4300 through the eyepiece (35mm Pan) of my Celestron Ultima 2000 8" SCT. Here is the link for that one: http://www.utahastronomy.com/album17/Full_Moon?full=1 I hope someone out there enjoys looking at them. Cheers, Tyler
Sorry Patrick! I should remember to list such things. Here are the specifics: Scope: Takahashi Sky90 with Reducer/Field Flattener, operating at 405mm Mount: Losmandy G-11/Gemini Level III Camera: SBIG ST2000XM, autoguided with on-board ST-237 Chip Exposure: LRGB 80:15:15:15 minutes - Unbinned, for deep parts LRGB 20:20:20:20 seconds - Unbinned, for brightest areas Acquired using MaxIm DL 4 Processed using MaxIm (Dark Subtract and Align) and Photoshop CS (LRGB Combine and Composite) I will add the details to the gallery as well, when I get a chance.

Nice shot. Details, please (exposure, camera, telescope, guided/unguided, focal length)?

For those who missed it, Roger Oakey and son "O' Ryan" gave a presentation at last nights meeting on the next generation space telescope (JWST) that he and his company are involved in. This telescope will operate in the visual and infrared wavelengths, will be parked at Lagrange point L2. See <http://www.physics.montana.edu/faculty/cornish/lagrange.html>, and have mirrors made of Byrillium. Pretty cool. Thanks for sharing your time with us Roger! Guy
