Donna's NexStar CCD Image Photo Album : Solar System Objects

These images were taken with the following equipment :

Scopes : NexStar 80GT, NexStar 5i, Short Tube 80 mounted on a NexStar 5i mount
Mount Modes : both altaz and equatorial
Cameras : Sony Mavica FD-92, Modified Webcam Philips Vesta 675 SC2, Starlight Xpress MX916
Imager : all images by Donna unless noted as daughter JP (age 7 or 8 depending)

Should anyone give a flying about any settings, see the other section which has more verbage about conditions, etc. It is more a diary of how images were captured. Planets really aren't my thing.
