CCD Astro gallery
I have just recently built a Genesis CCD camera (kit #44) so now I have a serious device for astro imaging. However, the weather in Spain has been awful during the last month and I haven't had many chances to point it to a real astronomical target.

In any case, I have a few images to show. I will enhance this gallery as weather and free time permits.

All images have been processed with CADET. Unles otherwise noted, all images were taken with an 8" LX-200 at F10 and my Genesis camera.

Click on the images to see them at normal size.
