I was able to get out a few nights ago and decided to try and image the dwarf galaxy NGC 2336. I setup for imaging around 7PM and noticed some wind gusts. At the time I did not think that the wind would be a problem, so I did not install a wind shield or even remove the dew shield ... that was a big...

Tom Thanks. I always said that if astrophotography was easy, anyone could do it. Every now and then we all have to work through difficulties. The positive side of this is that it forced me to retire my old computer and spend the time with the replacement. Having the bright Moon forced me to image so...

A few nights ago had a problem with my computer connecting to my CEM120 mount. I kept getting a notice 'cannot find a supported iOptron device'. I tried using a different USB cable, a different USB port, turning off/on the mount and computer. None of those efforts fixed the problem. Watching the com...

So I decided to re-image M78 last night. M78 is a reflection nebula in Orion. It is part of a group of nebulae consisting of M78, NGC...

While building my astrophotography website (menardastrophotography.com) I found that I had imaged the only double st...

Pete Like you, I have imaged IC 342 a few times. Your latest version was really well done. I am always amazed at the images from your 14 inch Meade... I have a difficult time with my 11 inch Celestron (and even then I use a 0.7 focal reducer). Working at the FL of your system really is a challenge w...

I agree with Mark.

Great job of capturing Andromeda. Stars are really pin-point and you did not blow out the core--
