Amateur Astrophotography

I love my Telescope...
Look at these pictures of the moon I took tonight. With that telescope and a simple digital camera.


Now that's nothing compared to this:
But hey, it is pretty good for the first few pictures taken through my telescope. That's a picture of the Sombrero Galaxy in infrared. I didn't take it though, NASA did. If you want to see some pretty sweet awesome astronomy pics click here. I could spend hours looking at those pictures. Here are some of my favorites:Earth at Night
Volcano and Aurora
View of space from Southern Utah. That's without a telescope. Pretty amazing.
Orion's belt. The three stars of Orion's belt shown from left to right are Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka.

Pretty great photos, all of them! That moon on Sunday cheered me up when I was having a tough evening. When the moon is just a sliver like that I always think of it like a big smile in the night sky.
