Thanks everyone!

These images were mostly with a Takahashi Epsilon E160. Its a standard 'Newtonian' reflector but with a hyperbolic main mirror (instead of a parabolic mirror) and a 4-lens corrector near the focal plane. It could be thought as 530mm f3.3 telephoto lens if you like.

Simply superb! I've always loved astronomy images.. and yours ROCK! Keep them coming.. What telescope do you use? I've a Orion SkyView Pro 127mm Mak-Cass.

Hi Scott,

I'd love to but don't have a telescope or mount capable of this. I am using a 6" f3.3 reflector which is designed for wide-angle.

Beautiful images!

Have you tried any "closeup" imaging of galaxies (where the galaxy fills most of the frame) with your 300D yet?
