 Taken
with a home-built conversion of a Orion XT12 dobsonion telescope onto a motorized equatorial mount, Pentax K1000D
Total exposure is just under 2 hours, over 40 frames and 2 nights of near perfect conditions
near Kalkaska, MI. I used a broadband filter for 10 frames to try to get some color differentiation,
I removed some of the background stars using a home-made software application
I've been experimenting with. Thanks!- Steve Lomas |

 I took several photos of the sun during the afternoon with just a regular
digital camera and captured something though Im not sure what. This is what
appeared after enhancing the sharpness and contrast. If anyone knows please send
me an email at evandd2001@yahoo.com. By the way the insert thats cropped in is
from a different photo. I included it to show that its not an anomaly created by
the camera. Evan Donahue |

 I am submitting 2 photos I took recently of the full moon. This was at approximately 8:00 am. I used a tripod with my Kodak digital camera (Z612). No exposure time.

 Just a point and shoot shot but fully zoomed (less the digital zoom, obviously) on the 9178 file and about ¾ zoomed on the other.
I hope that someone can comment on this. Personally, I like it, but would like to know if I am on the right track.

 Picture
of M33 taken Nov. 12 2005 in Hot Springs, AR with my Meade 10"
lxd55 telescope and DSI color camera. Exposure settings were short
because it was unguided. Multiple images were automatically stacked.
The resulting composite was then processed in InfoLite
software(brightness, contrast, dark tone, highlights, midtones), deep
sky astronomy software by steven s. tuma (sharpening), and coolpix to
remove background noise and correct for oversharpening.

 I
used a Fujifilm something d-slr with a 30 sec exposure outside my house in Bristol, England Joshua Goddard |
 Got a scientific name for this one?
I took this (and many other pics of this "cloud") outside my home in Colorado Springs on Dec 21st, 2004 (note the date). It formed out of nowhere from the southeast and remained in formation until after sundown. I used a digital Canon A20 on "auto" and took about 30 pics in all over a 30 minute period - where it continued to move off to the SE. Then morphed into something else. Almost comical.e-mail to: Steve . |

 I was setting up for the ISS Solar transit, and did my best to set up the
frame so that I could include the sunspot 963 with the ISS silhouette. The
predicted path seemed to across the disk indicated that the ISS should pass
close to the sunspot. I got everything framed, focused, waited for and
waited for the right time. At transit, I saw something flash across the
frame during capture. I opened up the AVI, scanned across the frames and was
THRILLED to see I had at leaset one frame that captured both the ISS and
Sunspot 963. Imagine my delight to later discover I captured 3 frames of the
ISS passing. Proceessed in Photoshop Contrast Enhanced, False Color,

 The camera I used was Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-P72. That photo was taken in Sao Lourenco do
Sul, a city of South of Brazil, next one of the biggest lakes around the world. It was taken in the afternoon when the sun was going down. It was selected for that photo the landscape mode without flash. In fact, I took several pictures at that moment and I selected this one to be added to SkyChasers page because it seemed to me the best position of the sun with the clouds letting its light passes through them.

 I took this photo while the passenger in a car crossing over the Broad River Bridge in Columbia, SC. The sun was setting over the river from the South.
The Broad River has a place called, "The River", where teens and young adults go to sunbathe on the
smooth large rocks. This place is just near the Riverbanks Zoo and you can hear the roars of the lions and screeches of the monkeys and squawks of the birds as you lay on those rocks in the Southern sun.

 I Shot this in Near

aura surrounding the tree, I could not see any light from where I was... and
there was no moon. Any explanation for the noise.? red and blue dots in the picture.? some
kind of radiation? it has to do with digital photo? I shot this Canon eos digital rebelone hour exposure f 22.0 Thanks. E-mail to: Alberto Misrachi Aloi - Mexico |

"The aurora northern lights storm of Nov 7-8, 2004
was as about as strong as it will ever get at this latitude. The
graphs were off the charts and the show was phenomenal all night long.
We had CLEAR skies and lake effect didn't creep in until the wee hours
of the morning allowing for some great photo opportunities. It was
truly a sight I will never forget".

 I took this about 5 am Central time on November 9. I had been out for two hours watching a low green arc that didn't change at all. I was pretty spoiled after the November 7 display so gave up. When I pulled into the driveway this show exploded and I just had time to capture it above the trees.

 The
Oct 28 show was a present for my birthday. I have trouble seeing reds in
the aurora but not this night. At one point it was a solid red from east
to west. I have never seen the whole north sky taken over by one band of
color. This picture is the left side of the red wall. It took my breath
away. Now if I could just get the aurora to come earlier than 2:45 am. Pentex 1000
with at 28mm lens at f 2.8 Fuji ASA 400 film. average time 12 seconds.Suzanne Ruby - Elk Washington Oct. 28th, 2001 |
