Astrophotography Gallery and Evolution

In my 11 months of astronomy adventures, I have collected quite a few astrophotos using my humble equipment. To sum them up, here are photos of my astrophotography for the past 11 months. Enjoy!

Here is my first try in astrophotography using a webcam and my 60 mm refractor. As seen on My First Astrophotography Experience
After learning the technique in using the webcam, I try to take photos of the moon again and produced sharper results that the previous one. As seen on Photos of the Moon
After a few trials, I decided to take pictures of the moon the third time around and produced even sharper results that the two previous attempts. As seen on A Tribute to the Moon
After graduating from Lunar Photography, I tried imaging the gas giant jupiter now using my 4.5 inch reflector and a Nikon Coolpix L16 point and shoot camera. As seen on Jupiter
With a new camera (courtesy of my friend), I tried lunar photography once again, producing ever sharper results. As seen on Lunar Photography 1
After mastering the methods and techniques, I can now produce good lunar photos such as this one using my humble equipment. As seen on
Lunar Photography 2

After trying planets and the moon, I now tried DSO astrphotography and got some very promising results using methods that I have learned and developed in my lunar and planetary imaging. As seen on
First Deep Sky Object Astrophotography
More photos will come as I acquire better tools and equipment so keep tuned to my astronomy adventures!

  2. Hi Dyan! Nice to hear from you again. Basically all the solar system planets are visible on earth, its just a matter of finding them. During the night Jupiter is still very visible. At around 5AM Venus and Saturn is visible as well. I have no news yet about the other planets. Say, would you like to join our club? Its called the ASTRONOMERS ANONYMOUS OF THE PHILIPPINES.
