My imager could not detect saturn- whether this is because my telescope does not collect enough photons or I derped the software settings is uncertain- so again I've fallen back to smartphone afocal astrophotography.
It seems to me, I get better lunar shots by pointing my phone camera through the eyepiece of the telescope than anything else. I believe that is called afocal astrophotography...
I do not remember the details of this one... Except that it was captured with the Orion SSSCI-IV and processed in Regiatax and remains my best planetary photo yet.
Sunspots taken with my phone camera (which is why there appears to be darker, shadowy areas on the disk) through a newtonian reflector at, I believe, x75 magnification, and a baadar solar filter in place. At the time I was sure I could see convection cells in the photosphere, but here any granulation is probably electronic noise.
If I am going to post artwork here too, I guess I'll start with my latest piece.
Because sometimes there is just not enough places on the internet for people to ignore you. Also, I needed a place to show off my astro-photos and other random stuff.
