M102

I was doing some testing of my guiding setup and a new 'light shield' last night so decided to add the my Messier list (up to 34 now).

Almost full moon!

Decided to try using the Canon XT to capture the moon. Came out pretty good considering I didn't spend much time focusing.

M99 and M100 galaxies

This time of year the galaxies are abundant in our skies. I picked a couple out last night that are close together and fit the DSI IIc image chip size well.

Here are the results: 15 or so 90 second images.
