Summer Milkyway!
The image was taken near Lewiston, MI in May of 2005. Conditions were very poor with a large amount of moisture present in the air. This resulted in dew forming on the lens of my camera, thus creating the strange green and yellow colors. Besides that I am happy with the results and look forward to capturing even better images of the milky way. Below you will find the same image but with important features highlighted. Equipment: Sears Camera(Pentax K-1000), kodak maxima 400 film, 15 minute exposure at f/1.7 with a 50mm lens.

Cygnus and NGC7000
Compare this image to that on photo page 4, the fifth image down. This image was taken with Kodak E-chrome 400 speed slide film. The red sensitivity is far greater than that found in the kodak maxima 400. Visible are NGC 7000(North American Nebula), Pelican Nebula, Butterfly Nebula, and Part of the Veil Nebula. Shoot near Lewiston, MI. |
Perseus Double Cluster (NGC 869 and NGC 884)
This was taken using a 400mm lense attached to my camera, using 400 speed Kodak E-Chrome slide film. I am very pleased with the results. This is close to what it looks like through a small refrator, reflector, or a pair of binoculars. Image was a 5 min exposure at f/4.5 |

The Moon!
This is my very first attempt at compositing two seperate iamges to make a full image of the moon. Images were taken using 10" Astro Physics Apochromatic Refractor. |
Summer Milkyway!
Comapare this image of the image at the top of this page. The film used was Kodak E-Chrome 400. he image was also shot at f/2.8 instead of f/1.7. This really helped reduce the coma present in some of my earlier images. The total amount of detail in the Milky Way is slightly less as compared to the image at top. This can be corrected by increasing exposure length. However, fog prohibited me from being able to continue with increasingly longer exposures to test for proper exposure length. |
