Top pic. I see you holding your arm up to attract the cat with I'm guessing a small cat toy in your hand. You took the pic with a tablet? And you have a ceiling fan.

[andyman]

yes, a 22megapixel full frame tablet that can do f1.2 and has a strobe attached

sorry too funny

[obsidian]

What did you set the f-stop for those photos? Because it looks like you shot at f1.2 and sacrificed depth of field in some of those shots (the first one for instance).

Cute kittehs.

[Ryoki]

Heh, he looks like a younger version of my cat

[andyman]

new telescope, first real picture with it. expect much improve over the next year when i get better with it

1st shot of jupiter with it, unedited straight-out-of-camera



this was with very low magnification. will get some killer shots in the future

when i first saw this in the eyepiece i said HOLYYYY SHITTTT... never seen it like this before! MOONS!

The lens was starting to collect dew about 1/3 of the way into viewing the moon, and then was pretty well dewed over when i started jupiter. heater element on the way to remedy the dew forming.

............. first saw this in the eyepiece i said HOLYYYY SHITTTT... never seen it like this before! MOONS!.....

I remember the first time I saw the rings of Saturn (like 45 years ago old fart here) through my just purchased 50mm telescope and said much the same thing.

Nice shots andyman and a nice pussy.

That's sweet... I have a small Bausch+Lomb bird watching telescope. I've tried peeping Jupiter with it a few times. I don't get much more than a small reddish dot, but somehow that feels more exciting than just looking directly at it with my eyes. Give us moar!!1

Any of you guys had a chance to try a Lytro camera yet?

Friday night lugged the scope to my friends place about 45min north where it's a lot clearer than mine. Full moon was below the horizon while jupiter was out, but the clouds rolled in with the moon so this was all I could get. These are two separate images with different magnification and f-stops. To make these, I took a 30s avi video and then loaded it into a program that takes each frame as an image and aligns/processes them (about 1000 frames for the wide shot, 2000 for the close one)







Still, looking at it through the eyepieces looks a LOT better so if you get the chance to view it do it!

I was surprised at all the stars i could see in the telescope where there was black with just the eye. Everywhere I looked in the scope there were tons of stars and the viewing was really only 10% better than at home. Now I am very anxious to go back to south carolina where I took this picture with the 5D, and that is pretty much how it look with an eye too.

[seremtan]

those jupiter pics are awesome it's amazing you can make out so much detail on something so far away with a modest-sized telescope
