My hobby is to cast my telescope and camera's to the sky and capture photons from the universe. In doing so, I am capturing HISTORY. The following are some of the photos (good and not so good) which I have captured.
My goal was to photograph all Messier Objects from my home near Didsbury, Alberta Canada. This was completed late in 2009. I have a major city (Calgary) directly to the south of me. Some of the low in sky objects are very difficult to get from my location. I will post them all, light pollution included. I work in the oil patch. This means that I am not home often enough when the skies are dark and I don't have to work the next day. When I started working with others of the same interest, the quaility started to get better. One learns much better in small groups of the same interest.
