TELEVUE 85MM & MX5c CCD

This CCD photograph of M13 during full moon (using the Starlight Express MX5C, through a Televue 85mm APO refractor on a GP mount) is currently a favorite. Here are other Televue 85 CCD shots:

M57, the ring nebula, is a pretty sight and an easy object. Stars to 14.6 magnitude are easily visible in this composite totalling just over a minute long. (Same equipment.)

The above is also a 17 minute CCD composite of M51, the "Whirlpool Galaxy."

The above is a CCD photo of part of the crescent moon, 1/20th of a second, same equipment as above.

M31, The Andromeda Galaxy as taken through through a 135mm lens (and the MX5c ccd) on the left, 4 minute exposure..then M42 through the 85mm Televue APO - 2 minute exposure (2 1min merged). BACK TO TODD GROSS' WEATHER/ASTRONOMY PAGE
