Did anyone see Mercury today? I took this picture just before third contact with my mobile phone through the ocular of my telescope, so the quality is pretty bad compare to what I could see.

I also took some photos through my telescope today. Not the greatest quality, but I'm still tweaking camera settings.

The clouds broke just enough towards the end for me to get a few pics. Like the previous two post, these were also taken with the phone looking through the eyepiece.

Hi! I want some advices. I have a Celestron 114LCM telescope and I wish to use it for astrophotography. I already have a Canon T5 camera, but when I attach it using a T-ring, the image looks blur toward the edges (I believe it's some kind of spheric aberration, since it is a newtonian telescope, and probably the eyepieces cancels it but the camera doesn't). Obviously, I should buy a good webcam or a smartphone mount (advices here too), but that wouldn't fix the spheric aberration problem, right? I want to know this before I spend my money.
Thank you!

Me too. And the mirror of my small reflector is not reflecting anything anymore.

It's difficult to catch meteors in Norway these days, even fairly big fireballs, but at the southernmost tip of Norway, at 58N, the sky gets fairly dark around midnight, sufficiently dark for the planets and perhaps a few stars to become visible. Last night this 5 second fireball appeared, photographed from Kristiansand at 58N close to true midnight:

It fragmented and went dark at 40 km altitude. It was less impressive from Oslo:

I don't think anyone has mentioned this, but NASA has a cool website for new astronomy pictures every day. The archive goes back to the late 1990's I think. Be sure to check it every day, there's always something cool.

i really want to get into astrophotography. and i want to ask you guys if you know.
what will give me better images results?
a 200mm telescope with tracking mount+computer remote control from computer to track any object while it moves+a telescope camera.
or a camera like antza use for his images. Canon 650D with a 18-55mm lens
i know its 2 different things but i want to know what results to expect from each one.
i guess i will get better sky and milkey way results with antza camera type but what about lets say...
some nebula. will it be better with telescope or a camera?

thanks for help! i just want to do research before i buy such things! happy
