Mike Ramey Astrophotography

what does one do when the moon is too bright to image deep sky nebula and galaxies? well you image the moon of course! taken tonight with my big scope. enjoy :)

taken last night with the help of my lovely fience Amber Holly Allen. the Andromeda galaxy. ive done this galaxy before with low grade equipment and wanted to compare results using my new higher end telescope and camera. i would say the difference is outstanding! hope yall enjoy it!

The Andromeda Galaxy , also known as Messier 31, M31, or NGC 224 and originally the Andromeda Nebula , is a barred spiral galaxy approximately 2.5 million light-years (770 kiloparsecs) from Earth and the nearest large galaxy to the Milky Way. The galaxy's name stems from the area of Earth's sky in which it appears, the constellation of Andromeda, which itself is named after the Ethiopian (or Phoenician) princess who was the wife of Perseus in Greek mythology.

All set up for the night! Crystal clear skies! Lets get it!

FINALLY something is going right! Finally figured this out. Im getting what i can tonight as i spent most of the night working out kinks in the system. And now my power supply for my camera died so no cooling for the camera. But we are up and imaging with a hot sensor lol. Hopefully this turns out well.

And we are back up and running! This new equipment comes with a steep learning curve. But the results will be worth all the headache i hope lol.
