Astronomy Pages
These Pages are dedicated to my endeavours in Astrophotography and been split so far into to pages. One page for pictures taken with my Canon Power Shot A460 and adapters and the other dedicated to images taken with my Meade LPI.
To aspects become apparent after using both cameras, the Meade is very easy to use but is only 640x480, hence the resolution isn't the greatest. The Canon Power Shot A460 is sometimes tricky to set up and align to the eye piece and will only fit curtain eyepieces at this stage. Another thing I noticed was that the canons auto focus sometimes played up, the extra weight hanging off your scope, but the camera has 5 megapixels, so delivers a much higher resolution image, 2592x1944, good resolution but chews your memory up when processing numerous files at one time.
Also The field of the cameras view is limited in the Meade LPI apparently it is similar to a 6mm eyepiece, so forget any of the larger clusters and other objects. I am still seeing what this camera can do but I really need to get to a dark site with good weather conditions to fully test out what it can do.
All Canon images have been processed in Photoshop and all Meade LPI images have been processed first in Maxim DL and then tweaked in Photoshop.
