Sky this Week

Several of us from the Boulder and  Longmont Astronomy club set up our scopes to show the moon and saturn for a student astronomy club at the Boulder Day School in north Boulder, Colorado.  I demonstrated some of my imaging equipment to them and here are the resulting images. The sky was clear, temperature around 45°F; no wind; transparency was very good; and turbulence was good (6/10). 

Saturn image was taken with Celestron Nexstar11, Televue 2.5X Powermate, and Phillips 740K webcam.

Below image of the moon was taken with Celestron Nexstar11, F6.2 focal reducer, and Canon 300D.
