Fluid Dynamics

I took these two pics a few years ago through my telescope with my digi cam. I just held the camera to the eyepiece and then resized and lightly processed the images on the computer. They are not too great but I'm bored so I thought I would see if there are any other rotary astronomers.

Another.

Here is the scope. I still have it but I sold the mount to finish my RX-7 project. It is a 12" Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain compound telescope. The pic was taken at an observing site about 60 miles south of Phoenix.

Here is another shot taken through my other (smaller) scope.

Here is one of my first pics.

Those last two pics were taken through my 6" f/9 refractor, shown in this pic. The man standing next to it is about 5'6" tall.

Thanks. I miss Arizona when I see these pics again. The desert is perfect for looking at the stars. I met so many engineers, consultants, managers, etc. at starparties (when everyone meets at the same place with their scopes) and made a lot of friends.

Oh...I thought star parties were when geeks gathered around to play the star wars card game and eat s'mores. My bad.
