Let the image speak for itself. Its a tattoo that Ville Valo (singer/songwritter from the band called H.I.M.) has. I draw mine with a waterproof marker cause i cant get a tattoo yet lol.

Orion Widefield num.2

2008-01-28T01:27:00.001+01:00

Yup. A dude named Jurij Stare (the best astrophotographer in Slovenia) told me how to remove gradient so the pic is better now.

So here we go try num.2

Orion Widefield

Light pollution. Thats all i see in the photo.. well at least it wasnt a complete waste of time :) That is because now i know this is not the place for widefield photography.
Ok enough of this...
I will try to reduce the signs of light pollution but i dont think i will get far.

Orion Widefield
27th January 2008
15 x 2 min exposures
Iso 400
Canon EF 85 f/1.8 @ f/5.6 (yeah imagine the light pollution on f/1.8)

Definately not a good photo :)
We need to move i will go talk to my mom...

M 42

2008-01-23T23:06:00.000+01:00

Well after a long long and even longer period of bad weather finally some clear skies.
But when there is clear sky there is Moon that we all hate :) . Even tho there is a full moon out there and i have school tomorow (test from german language) i went out to take a photo of M42. I processed it quickly so i might have another go at it.

M42
Canon EOS 350D through 150/750mm Sky watcher at 750mm.
24 one minute exposures and 5 20 second exposures for the core = 25 min 40 sec
at ISO 400.
Sky: Full moon and bad seeing, bad transparancy.

Srečno 2008

2008-01-01T01:13:00.000+01:00

Well here we go! SREČNO NOVO LETO 2008!!! WOHOOOO!!!

Miklavž in miklavž, kaj pa parkelni?

2007-12-06T00:12:00.000+01:00

Za miklavža sem dobil čokolado. Yay!
Seveda pa miklavž brez parkelnov ne gre...
Čakamo na Mr. Santa..

PS: A je to prav napisano? "parkelni" , imam občutek, da ne..

Benetke 2007 part II

2007-11-19T10:46:00.000+01:00

Še več slik. V prostem času smo se malo sprehodili in našli eno najboljših trgovin v benetkah. Trgovina z modeli avtomobilov! Saj bi si kupil kaj ampak 20 cm model gallardota stane 75 eurov!
No ko smo se zavedali, da smo stari šestnajst let smo se odpravili naprej. V drugem prostem času pa smo šli na pico! Italjanska pica z mozarelo in baziliko mmmm...

Stefan.. eden od dveh sošolcev. ki sta se udeležila ekskurzije.

Alem je skoraj izgubil roko, ko so ga napdli golobi...

Delček ene izmed mnogih fresk v benetkah...

Hm.. telih pa ne poznam..

Tudi telih ne..(konkurenca.. canon eos 30D)

In pa ena hugeeeee ladja!

PS: Vse fotke sem imel na iso 800 (noob!!), ker sem pozabil nastavit saj se na LCD-ju od 350ke to ne vidi..

Benetke 2007

2007-11-19T00:17:00.000+01:00

Ja. Klub V4, Šola za elektrotehniko in računalništvo Ljubljana aka. Vegova je spet organizirala ekskurzijo v Benetke v soboto, za katero smo dobili 12 ur prostih vsebin. ;) Kot (skoraj) vedno sem se ekskurzije udeležil tudi jaz. Iz Kongresnega trga smo se odpravili okoli sedme ure zjutraj, v Benetke pa prišli okoli 11h. Ogledali smo si nekaj zanimivosti, ki nekatere sploh ne zanimajo (recimo mene) ampak še zmeraj lepo izgledajo na Cmos čipu 350-ke. Najboljše od vsega, kot vedno na ekskurzijah, je seveda prosti čas.

Ena od znamenitosti, katere imena ne poznam.

Ena od mnogih cerkev.

Še ena zgradba, mogoče cerkev?

Whos the boss! (golob je zasral fotko in pa ne vem zakaj mi da ta tekst v povezavo??)

PS: more coming soon...

In search of the light...

2007-11-13T22:49:00.000+01:00

Every light tell's its story.. Its time to look for one!

Time

2007-11-10T01:04:00.000+01:00

Time is running away no mather what we do and how we try to stop it.

Past, present, future....

My astrophotography setup

2007-11-05T11:44:00.001+01:00

Here is the telescope and other gear that makes the photos :D

Mount: Heq-5
Telescope: Skywatcher 150/750mm.. Its a very good telescope ofcourse i would prefer 200/1000 but i ran out of money :P
Guidescope: Skywatcher 80/400.. A lot of astrophotographers use this scope as a guidescope because it gives you larger FOV (field of view). With large FOV you have more chance of finding a bright enough of a star in the objects area you want too shoot, to guide on. I still have problems with that :P
Guidecam: Philips SPC900NC, it has a nice CCD sensor :D
And other bunch of stuff: Laptop to run the guiding program and stuff, bunch of Eyepieces, Barlow, Nikon CF 10x50 binoculars....

And here is another photo of Comet Holmes, with Barlow.

Ha-hi

2007-11-04T14:13:00.001+01:00

After wednesday visual observation of Ha-hi i decided to also photograph it. On thursday there was no time on friday i couldnt find a star to guide on and yesterday i finaly made it.
Because of light pollution i get an orange background instead of black with five minute exposure so i decided to do 2 min. And manual guiding isnt as easy as it should be, after 5 images you loose all of your nerves :D Imagine doing 15 10 minute exposures :S

Canon EOS 350D trough Sky Watcher 150/750 F5
Iso 800, 9 x 2 min, Manual guiding
Proccesing: Iris and Photoshop CS2

HA- HI (ngc 869) :

Clouds! I hate clouds.. do you? I hope so.

Pleiades and Holmes

2007-11-02T13:16:00.001+01:00

Nice weather :) I'm lovin it ..
Yesterday i took photos of the comet again and Pleiades (M45). It could be better, a lot but i am happy with it for now. I only made 5 shots, 5 minutes each than unfotunatly my battery died :(
I was planing to take 15 shots. And i only have 3 dark frames.

Here it is:
Canon 350D through Sky Watcher 150mm/750mm F5
Manual guiding, SPC 900NC, Sky Watcher 80/400 F5

And yesterdy's photo of Comet Holmes (17P):
Same equipment, 12 x 30s

Comet Holmes (17P)

2007-11-01T12:03:00.000+01:00

Yesterday the sun finally came trough the damn clouds. Even tho i had a lot of problems with my guding camera (which didnt work! i didnt even get one star on display! :S) i still managed to take photos of this comet because it doesnt require long exposures. I hope i will be able to see it again, today!

Blog Action Day

2007-10-16T00:23:00.000+02:00

Well today is the blog action day i read..
Since i am interested in astronomy i see that our Earth is getting more and more light polluted.
There is also Global Warming problem which prevents us, astronomers, to do serious observation because of climate changes. Month to month our skyes are less blue and more gray and white with rain and snow. Its not too late folks but when it will be where is our future? Without space programs and astronomy with more and more polluted Earth that we cant live on a lot will depend on amateur and proffesional observations of space. It might not happen soon but when it does we are going to need a new planet. And how are we going to find it through 10 kilomthers fat clouds?

I hope as many bloggers will write a few words about our beatuiful planet. Remember its not too late...
This is not the dark sky... Ligh pollution should be taken more seriously!
