       12.5" Obsession Newt Dob

I put this website together as a gallery for my Astrophotography Images

I started to explore astro imaging in the Summer of 2007 with semi live video CCD.  
 
I use my 12.5" Obsession as both a visual instrument, and for live video CCD
I use my Takahashi FSQ-106 EDXII and EM-200 Temma 2 Mount as a dedicated Astrograph for imaging.

I started with a Canon 450 Xsi DSLR
I now use a QSI 532wsg CCD Camera with Off Axis Pick Off Prism for Auto Guiding with an SX Lodestar guide camera

My main interest is Monochromatic H-alpha Nebula and Tri-Color Narrowband Imaging of Nebula

I hope you enjoy the images.  Thanks for looking.
