Steve Orlando's Astroimaging Website
I have been interested in photography for 35 years, and about four years ago, I wandered into a local Costco, and saw a telescope displayed. I thought I can take pictures using it, especially the planets. I got it that following Christmas. Only to learn the problems with 0.965" eyepieces, and trying to use reflectors for imaging, at prime focus, with their limited focus range, and a shaky mount. I since then upgraded my equipment, the main pieces of my equipment are:
C8 SCT, Orion ST-80, Celestron CG5 Advanced Series GOTO Mount, A SAC-8, An SBIG ST7XMEA, with a CFW8 with Astrodon LRGB Images, Maxim DL, Adobe Photoshop (which I had before), and other miscellaneous stuff.
In addition, I am a staff member at the Custer Observatory, Long Island's only public Observatory, and there I use a Celestron CGE-1400. Otherwise, I do imaging from my driveway, so my observatory is aptly named the Driveway Observatory
