Working on a redesign of my imaging rig to incorporate an AP130EDT f/8 refractor for narrowfield imaging alongside the FSQ widefield setup. This was a test shot through the scope using an Apogee U8300 and Baader Ha filter to prevent saturating the chip.
Being unemployed gives me a little more time to travel the countryside and give Bill Snyder a hand with his Astrophotography booth at some Art Festivals. The show ran Dec 13th-Dec 15th, thankfully indoors unlike the last show where we nearly froze to death. It’s a great opportunity to talk astronomy with the general public and get a snapshot of who is interested in astronomy.
Here are a few pictures of the King of Astrophotography, Bill Snyder. He forgot to pack his cape and crown 🙂
