| Description: |
A lot of beginners have a little trouble with angular sizes. It's one thing to tell someone how big an object is, it's another to show them. I am a picture kind of guy. Here's a small collage I created from three rolls of film I took a while back. All the objects in this picture are scaled the same - so you can make an accurate comparison of how big some of these things are - when compared to the moon for example. All the objects where taken with the same scope, and same camera. I simply cut each object out of the scanned negative and pasted them with no change in size. Enjoy!
All images taken with the Meade LXD75 8" Schmidt Newtonian, Olympus OM-1, Fuji 400F and Kodak E200. All exposures (except the Moon) where single 20 to 45 minute exposures.
Objects are the M42/43 Orion Nebula, Double Cluster, M8 Lagoon Nebula, M17 Omega Nebula, M45 Pleiades, M20 Trifed Nebula, Crescent Nebula, M13 Globular Cluster, M57 Ring Nebula, M51 Whirlpool Galaxy, Luna, M27 Dumbell Nebula, M31 Andromeda Galaxy, M32 Galaxy near Andromeda, M101, Helix Nebula, M33 Triangulum Galaxy, Bubble Nebula, M110 Galaxy near Andromeda, M1 Crab Nebula, Horsehead Nebula
