December 15 1997

December 7 1997 - Here i took one short exposure of Orion to show thepoint stars and then I covered the lens and uncovered it about 10 minutes later and exposed the fil again to show the star trails behine the point stars.

September 16 1997 - This is what started it all. This is my very first picture and i really didn't know much about astrophotos so i was so happy to see this come out. ofcourse it is not a great shot but looks alot better on paper because the scanner used to digitize this photo is very old and crappy and adds alot of noise and specks to it! Anyways image is taken through my meade 10" LX50 SCT and pantex K2 slr film camera
