| Well, I finally read the camera directions AND got some clear skies. These are my latest attempts at Jupiter and the Moon. Jupiter is still a stubborn target. I may have to learn how to stack photos to get a decent picture. The Moon however, gets better. The cable release makes a world of difference. | |||||||||||||||||

| Jupiter 1/30 sec., f 5.1 See what I mean? This is not at all what I saw on the camera screen! I think if I work on it I might be able to either stack these for more detail or get a better exposure all around. | |||||||||||||||||

Ahh, the joys of sharing an interest! I was working on a project and noticed that the guy doing my control design had a copy of Sky & Telescope in his briefcase. That sparked some conversation for sure! He loaned me his Meade LPI Imager and I shot this beautiful picture of Saturn three days later. 11/7/04
