All photos taken with a digital camera coupled to a Meade ETX90 using the "afocal method". Various eyepiece filters were used, and image processing was also applied for enhancement. Note that the afocal method can cause "vignetting", since the projected image of the eyepiece is smaller than the camera field of view (examples can be seen in the Moon crater closeups, the rounded part of the image is not necessarily the edge of the moon)
Note: The photos of the Sun used an Orion full aperture solar filter, NEVER point your telescope at the Sun unless you know what your doing, or blindness can result.
