b_9904 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 M42 is very visible right now, along with the Pleiades cluster (M45) in Taurus. I heard people call this the Rosary. It's amazing to look at M45 coz they look like sparkling jewels. I've read about stacking. buti nalang marunong ako sa adobe photoshop hehehe I'll look for m45, rosary?!?!?! yeah I know what it looks like pero hindi ko alam m45 pala yun. hehehe Thanks for the infos. Anyway, wish me luck in attaching my digicam to my scope. I'll post the pics Quote Link to comment

b_9904 Posted January 11, 2008 Author Share Posted January 11, 2008 Some pictures taken DIRECTLY by my Cannon A550. The pictures are already processed. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e281/pr1nc3_prince/Mars2.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e281/pr1nc3_prince/Mars3.jpg Quote Link to comment
steven_crimes Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 You could!!!! I mean you are only limited to how big your printer is. I use short bond paper print outs and that, for me atlease, is enough. anyway, a laptop is way better than having a print out (I wish i have a laptop to bring with me in my sessions.). Don't worry about being called weird. i almost got beaten up by a group of squatter kids, coz they thought i was going crazy, but they didnt stop me from taking my first astrophoto. CLEAR SKIES DUDE (means good luck) ps: put a red celophane on your laptop screen so you could preserve your night adaptation. yup will do! thanks for the help. it's a rainy weekend so maybe next weekend!

b_9904 Posted January 12, 2008 Author Share Posted January 12, 2008 yup will do! thanks for the help. it's a rainy weekend so maybe next weekend! Yeah, the cloudy sky is a drag.

melancholic Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 My Favorite planetarium software http://www.stellarium.org/ The best feature I love is the "Go to" feature where you can fly to any object in our solar system to view the sky from the object's perspective. For example, a view of Saturn from one of its moons, Tethys. Quote Link to comment

melancholic Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's Sirius and the Deep Sky Object is the Orion Nebula, but I'm wondering how you took that picture, or it's just from a mirror telescope. Quote Link to comment
b_9904 Posted January 14, 2008 Author Share Posted January 14, 2008 Shadowspy: Thanks dude :-) Musta na? Melancholic: I took it with my Cannon A550, ISO 800, Night mode. Also the picture has been processed through adobe photoshop to make the stars, which are originally dim, look brighter. Quote Link to comment
jakeyjunkie Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Kanina sa may Bayside sa likod ng Mall Of Asia, nag-stargazing kami ng kasama ko. Nakita ko na naman 'yung constellation na lagi kong nakikita since I was still a child. Hanggang ngayon, tinatamad akong alamin kung ano ang pangalan. Wala masyadong makikitang stars sa Metro Manila. Sa mga probinsiya, animo'y glitters sila sa dami. Quote Link to comment

b_9904 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 jeiku: Aside from the fact na polluted sa Manila maliwanag kasi sa observing site mo eh. try going to darker observing sites and mas madami ka ding makikita kahit nasa Manila ka. Shadowspy: Thanks. Keep us posted Quote Link to comment
