 Welcome to Raritas' Astrophotography Gallery! 

(Come on in, take a seat!)

 

 

Hi, Raritas here. I've been a budding astronomer for a good few years now, I'll always remember the first time I viewed the moon through my trusty telescope (A Sky-Watcher 130P Synscan GoTo reflector). Since then, I've viewed all manor of celestial objects, from Jupiter, to Saturn. From the Pleiades to the Andromeda galaxy. However, my catalog of sightings is still very small!   

 

Recently, I've decided to take up the art of Astrophotography, taking pictures of the objects I have seen on my travels across the sky. Unfortunately for me, as of now I only have my trusty digital camera to take the pictures with, holding it up to the telescope lens. However, this has given me surprisingly good results! So, without further a do, below I will post all my recent pictures I have acquired for your viewing pleasure. If you would like to ask me any questions, feel free!

 

 

28/09/2015 - Lunar Eclipse (  :comeatus: )

 

 

 

 

12am - 2am (approx) - The Moon in it's full glory

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2am - 3am (approx) - The Eclipse is in motion!!

 

 

 

 

 

The Eclipse is in full swing

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3am - 3:45am - Total eclipse and blood moon!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Due to the lack of light and my camera quality these images aren't the best but it's clear to see how magnificent it is!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The total eclipse/super moon was a sight to behold, I'm proud I managed to see it. Next one is in 2033, expect pictures of that then!

 

Additional images of separate objects will be posted when I believe I have decent enough images.

 

Thanks for clicking on my gallery, please, if you have any questions or criticism, post away! (If you wish to download any images and use them else where, please ask me first)

These look absolutely gorgeous. I always like learning new things about astronomy, it's very fascinating.

 

How long have you been interested in astronomy?
