Taken last night during the meteor shower. The moon was trying to mess up the show so I snapped a few pics of it through the eyepiece. Just wanted to see how they would turn out. Panasonic DMC-TZ5 held up to my 21mm.

The second pic I took. I liked the way the colors came out on this one. The Leica lens is nice on the Panasonic for a point and shoot.

This is my first attempt at astroimaging the Hercules Cluster. I have discovered that processing is as big a part as capturing the images. Where can I get some tutorials on using RegiStax 5. How do you draw out the details? Is it all just trial and error?

Here's the Milky Way. I took this with a unmodified Nikon D40 on a barn door tracker. 6 shots, 2 minutes each. I still feel the image has lots of noise. I guess more subs would help.

This has to be one of my first ever of a DSO. Ring nebula if you can't tell taken at prime focus with a LX90 and a Meade DSI. I remember not having a clue what processing was or anything. I did have an idea about stacking, but never could figure it out completely.. Oh the horror!
