Mark, I have a Celestron Nexstar GPS 11" with a Takahahsi FC 76 piggy backed on top of it. I image with a Hutech Modified Canon T3i on the Takahahsi ( I just got a light pollution filter for it that I have not tried). I guide with a Starlite Xpress Lodestar using Nebulosity for image capture and PHD for guiding. I process with Nebulosity and Photoshop. I am an intermediate beginner. I have finally gotten descent tracking with the ability to get 10 minute exposures. The sky glow has really made me have fight Signal to Noise problems, especially with the fires. I am just starting out, but I am getting some success. Steve Gallenson PS. Indian Hills is my childhood hood. Curtis Elementary, Hillside and Clayton and Highland. I once dropped a 1 gallon Molotov Cocktail off the roof of Indian Hills in 1965. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Shelton" <astroshelton@yahoo.com> To: "Utah Astronomy" <utah-astronomy@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Tuesday, September 18, 2012 1:31:03 PM Subject: Re: [Utah-astronomy] Astro Pictures Yes Very nice pictures.

These were all taken from my backyard in Sandy. I have much to learn and not very good sky to deal with. I have learned most of this on my own and with the great help of various Yahoo User Groups.
