Details:
My goal this year was to image all the planets in the solar system (including Pluto)
as well as our moon and the sun. An Explore Scientific ED127 was used to image the
planets and a Lunt 60mm H-α solar scope was used for the sun. Cameras used included
a ZWO ASI 178MC, Nikon D3100 DSLR (for the moon) along with a SBIG ST2000XM
to acquire Pluto. Because of its small size and magnitude, Pluto was imaged as it moved
against the star field with a CCD camera over several consecutive nights. Pluto is easily
seen to move against the background star field by blinking through each of the images
(not shown here) that were taken over each night, much like the process used in its
discovery. The gap seen in Pluto image composite was because of time spent while
attending the Oregon Star Party (OSP) as well as a cloudy sky.
