The astronomical images on these pages were taken using various techniques ranging from humble beginnings with b&w PC and MAC Quickcam CCDs that had been disassembled and reconstructed for astrophotography to the SBIG ST-237 ccd camera, the SBIG ST2000XM 2 megapixel ccd camera, and 35mm and 120mm film. As a life-long hobby, astrophotography is, for me, an incremental and evolving process. These pages record, to some extent, that process.

Recent News (3-25-08): Spring approaches after what seems like one of the most dismal winters for imaging in a long time. The limited clear nights were typically plagued by poor seeing or poor transparency or both.

For optimal viewing, set your monitor to at least 1024x768, preferably to 1280x1024 or higher. Adjust your contrast and brightness until you see 16 distinct steps in the test strip below. Adjust until the darkest step on the left is as dark as you can make it while still being able to distinguish it from the next lighter step.
