My Space Invaders Telescope

Loafmeister:

Those are nice pics, way to go!  I've taken some astro-pics myself, it's a fun hobby and I've done my own marriage of Astronomy with this arcade hobby by putting my own photos into my marquee :).

Wow, Loafmeister--you've clearly got a nice setup there--I'll try the wife's new 10MP Canon point & shoot camera next--that should produce some better shots!

Thanks,

Loafmeister:

With the standard point and shoot, you can do great stuff with planets and the moon. Keep taking pics, that’s a great start!

I gotta get going on my astro-imaging page someday...

The Space Invaders telescope doubles as a swell solar eclipse projector!

Nice Dob mount!

I've got an older Meade 6" reflector on an EQ mount.  But it is so heavy and difficult to move around that I rarely use it.

I've been considering building a Dob mount for it....maybe this will give me the inspiration I need.
