Hi Michael,

This is Denys Sakva. I was a student at RIT for a couple of years and
graduated last spring and returned back to Ukraine. I surely miss RIT public
observing sessions. But I now visit our local astronomy club. My last
achievement was a working autoguider based on LX modded QuickCam Pro 3000. I
attached a few pictures that I made last Saturday.

M31 - 10 exposures 5 minutes each at ISO 1600 with Digital Rebel and Russian
Jupiter 21 lens (FL 200mm 1/4)

North America 5 exposures 5 minutes each 

M81-M82 4 exposures 5 minutes 

It is amazing how much you can do with such simple and short lens.

 

M42 - 4 exposures through Celestron 80ED 2 minutes each. Bad focusing, no
guiding. Can't wait to try it again with autoguiding (as I don't have a
separate guidescope).

Hope you'll like them.

 

Best regards!

Denys.
