You sure got a lot of detail there. Real nice. -
Great! Some additional images of Mars. I notice some white spots too. -Fred -
Hi! As most of you are aware, 2009 is the International Year of Astronomy. Many countries have been issuing postage stamps to commemorate the event. In Europe, the annual "Europa" stamp has been issued by 64 countries and they all represent the topics of Astronomy. If any of you might be wondering what to do on a cloudy night, stamp collecting might just be the ticket. It is fun and informative too. Below is the entry from Greece and it has the Aristarchus telescope as part of its theme. There also is a link on the internet to view all of the other Europa stamps, it is at... http://europa-stamps.blogspot.com/2008/08/europa-stamps-2009.html Have fun, Fred Greece 2009 Europa postage stamp

Setup Gvidos-observatory Sakis Veroia
Ο Fred Ley σχολίασε σε SAKIS για αστροφωτογραφία Τηλεσκόπια και Εξοπλισμός
Sakis, Well it looks like you're ready to "rock n' roll". I thought that that was an Apogee camera you have mounted on the scope. You've got many exciting nights ahead of you. Enjoy, have fun and post an image on occassion. -Fred -
Nine Muses Astro Observatory (nmao)
Ο Fred Ley σχολίασε σε DEEPSKY για αστροφωτογραφία Τηλεσκόπια και Εξοπλισμός
Hi Deepsky, With the installation of the Sky Shed Pod, your enjoyment of the night sky is definitely going to be increased by a few magnitudes. It certainly does pay to be able to have everything ready to go, instead of spending crucial time away from the eyepiece in order to do the nightly "set up" ritual. Enjoy! -Fred -
Hi George, Congratulations on your new telescope. You are going to have billions of hours of fun exploring the night sky with it. When I purchased my first telescope in 1971, I went home set it up and just looked at it. Yes, you guessed right. I was presented with the same dillema as you were-I couldn't observe due to clouds. It never seems to fail, it must be a cosmic conspiracy or something along those lines. Have Fun, -Fred

Hi Everybody, Glad you enjoyed this image from "back then". Since I currently have no access to the day or night sjy, I don't have any new images to post which is why I have posted "old stuff". I hope that a new comet of this magnitude shows up soon, they are always nice to look at. -Fred -
Photograph takem on March 9, 1997 from my home in the High Desert. This is a ten minute guided exposure towards the North-East horizon, you can see a small part of the horizon to the right, with a Canon 28mm lens set at f/5.6 Above the Comet and readily apparent is the North America nebula. -Fred

I enjoyed looking at your images of Mare Orientale. For those dedicated lunar observers, apart from waiting patiently at the eyepiece for fleeting moments of excellent seeing when wonderful minute details just pop into view, the lunar libration offers interesting challenges for the observer. You did a nice informative collage here. -Fred -

Neat, Barry is selling some new eyepieces. Gotta check his site out. -Fred -
This is an image of some eyepieces that I had originally placed in my personal album, on Astrovox, to share, but it has only had two persons look at it. So, in order to give the image more exposure to everyone, I have placed it here. Below is a list of what is shown in the photograph. -Fred Bottom Row (l. to r.) · Galoc 16.3mm · L.

Κατασκευή ερασιτεχνικού αστεροσκοπείου με θόλο
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της Φαρμακόπουλος Αντώνης σε Mastrovox
Nice looking observatory you got there. It is always a good idea to make the dome larger, that way if you ever upgrade to a larger instrument you wont have to build a larger dome. Enjoy it! Fred -

This came out very, very nice. The seeing conditions must have been very favorable for you. I see quite a few craters on the floor of Plato and some nice details in the Alpine Valley too. It always is a challenge to grab the great image when the seeing co-operates with you. -Fred -

This is a rendering that I did in 1994. It is in the medium of acrylic on stretched canvas. The dimensions are 20"(50.8cm) x 38" (96.52cm). -Fred -

42" DOB... ναι καλά είδατε δεν το γραψα λάθος....
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της dimkasta σε Τηλεσκόπια
We all deserve to have one of those bad boys. Galaxies should be awesome. With this 43.3-inch telescope a 55mm Tele Vue Plossl gives you basically 80x and a true field of view of 0.625-degrees. Great! The whole Moon will fit in the field. I guess sunglasses are required? And... with the 21mm Ethos it's 209x and 0.477-degrees ture field of view-almost a half degree. Saturn should be a knockout. The biggest scope I ever saw at a gathering was a 40-inch. Below is a couple of photos of it. -Fred The "small" telescope on top is a 12.5-inch Newtonian.

Hi Antonios, Your image caught my attention. That's a long exposure with the Ha filter. You got a nice sharp focus and colors. -Fred -

Sounds like fun, stargazing with the president. Maybe he'll get real enthusiastic and give science and NASA a lot of extra money for more missions. I would much rather have my tax dollars go there. -Fred -

Τι μουσική ακούν τα μέλη του AstroVox ?
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της marinos.stargazer σε Λοιπές Αστρονομικές Συζητήσεις
Well lets see... For observing under the night sky my main artist is Jonn Serrie. I have eight of his cd's. Have been listening to his music since 1991. If one visits amazon.com, you can hear small samples of various albums of his on-line. Here is a link to samples from one of his albums... http://www.amazon.com/gp/recsradio/radio/B00008IUWP/ref=pd_krex_listen_dp_img?ie=UTF8&refTagSuffix=dp_img I also enjoy Cal Tjader (jazz artist), Ray Lynch, Robert Rich and Lisa Morrow "Yearning", Dean Evenson "Ocean Dreams", Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, George Strait (country), Alan Jackson (country), and Garth Brooks (country). Naturally there are quite a few more artists that I listen to. No, I am not the habit of listening to country music when observing unless it is an ecening of bbq's and talking with an ocassional look throught the eyepiece. -Fred -
Το καλύτερο eclipse video που έχω δει..
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της Tilemachos Athanasiadis σε Παρατήρηση Ηλίου
Yeah! Real nice eclipse video. All the yelling reminded me of when I drove to El Paso to watch the 1994 annular eclipse. I let my video camera run for an hour or so and I ended up recording all sorts of interesting conversations along with one guy yelling like a Banshee (a tribe in the Dakotas)when annularity was reached-it must have really made his day. I stillneed to get myself situated in order to view a total eclipse one of these days. -Fred -
A Foggy Sunday Morning
Ο Fred Ley σχολίασε σε xipteras για αστροφωτογραφία Ήλιος wide field (ηλιοβασιλέματα, τοπία κτλ)
Hi Panagiotis, Your photograph caught my attention because it looked like a sepiatone photograph from yesteryears. I noticed in your description that you used the septia tool on the photograph, so I was close in my quick conclusion to the photograph being a sepiatone. Nice image by the way. -Fred
