Astro Photo's from Astro Camp
|
|
| All of my astro photography attempts during the October 2006 ASWA Astro Camp were cut short by a combination of cloud, lightning, bonfires, etc. This gallery contains the few survivers. |

M42 (Orion)
Taken at a dark sky location this relatively short exposure clearly shows the Orion nebula and the Running Man nebula to the left.
More exposure detail would have been ideal, but lightning and cloud put an end to that!

M8 (Lagoon Nebula)
The Lagoon Nebula.
I was only able to take 4 of the 5 minute exposures before the object set. These images were taken when the object was between 20 and 5 degres above the horizon (usually a no go zone for astro photographers) due to atmospheric lensing and turbulence.
Amazingly the Losmandy GM8 was behaving. Autoguiding was performed using a QuickCam Pro 4000 running through GuideDog.
