Astronomy

Is anyone interested in the topic of Astronomy? My fathers into it alot, and I guess its his favorite hobby, since he has lots of equipment that he plays with outside at night. He often brings me outside with him to view some of the stars. Unfortuately, we live right next to a street light, so light polution is through the roof for us. But still, we are able to get fairly good pictures of the sky, such as this:

I'm pretty sure he has taken pictures of Saturn, so if anyone is interested I'll post them.

So does anyone treat astronomy as a hobby?

ok,mate! bring it!

i would be interested in seeing these pictures.

did you take the one in you post?

Okay guys, here is that Saturn picture. (Taken using a DSLR camera mounted "eyepiece projection" on an Orion 6in. imaging reflector telescope. The eyepiece used was a Baader Hyperion 8-24mm zoom lens.) And no, I did not take the photo of the moon, that was my father.

Would anyone be interested in seeing my dad's first picture of The Great Orion nebula?

that is a good picture, my dad has a 8inch celestron? and manages to get excellent views of saturn and other celestial bodies. where i live there is minimal light pollution.

great. Give me a second to find it first. :)

Here it is, The Great Orion nebula. (Same camera and telescope set up as the moon in the previous picture.)

I wish I had the time and money to do stuff like this

Nice pics.

:shock:

I'm sorry, but can you see that in naked eye?!:|

because I don't have money to buy a good telescope in this month. me and my friends we're going to camp in the openfield!

If only you know how hard it is to do this kinda stuff. You might just take back your wish.

I love astronomy. Very good pictures.

one questions: there's more nebulas, people can see from the north hemisphere?

I guess I've to find a good astronomy because the only constellation I've seen in my life is Canis Major :P

I do love Astronomy, so much so that I actually want a career in it. I have no idea where to start though.
