Ah-ha! A very interesting image of the comet. I guess you used color filters for this one? -Fredo -
Glad you all enjoyed the photo. It was hard holding the camera at the eyepiece while taking the images. I still have that 60mm refractor. Did a lot of work with that telescope. The Athens sky was much better then in comparison to what is afforded these days. -Fred -

Fred Ley δημοσίευσε μία αστροφωτογραφία σε Διάφορες αστρονομικές φωτογραφίες
In the distance is the 18-inch Schmidt telescope dome. This was taken from the catwalk that goes around the 200-inch Hale telescope dome. Scanned from a Kodachrome 64 slide. -Fred -
I took this photo using the afocal method with my Polarex D60mm and F900mm refractor. Film used was Kodacolor II print film. I believe this film has been out of production for some time-unless the name was changed in the past. Enjoy, Fred

Dimitri, If you get enough images you can make a time lapse movie of the comet. Fredo -

Fred Ley δημοσίευσε μία αστροφωτογραφία σε Διάφορες αστρονομικές φωτογραφίες
The telescope is located at the Mc Donald Observatory in Western Texas not to far south-east of El Paso. -
Dimitri, Another nice image of the comet. The stars sure do look weird since you were guiding on the comet. Fredo -
Mt. Wilson 60-inch Telescope
Ο Fred Ley σχολίασε σε Fred Ley για αστροφωτογραφία Διάφορες αστρονομικές φωτογραφίες
Hey Frank, The Mount Wilson Observatory Association (MWOA) rents the telescope out for $900.00 a night-last time I checked. If memory serves me correct, it can be rented out either to an individual or to a group. If one gets a decent sized crowd, the rate per person is not that bad. -Fred -
Mt. Wilson 60-inch Telescope
Ο Fred Ley σχολίασε σε Fred Ley για αστροφωτογραφία Διάφορες αστρονομικές φωτογραφίες
1-Yeah, but, Herschel's had a speculum mirror and was altaizmuthly mounted. Of course it was the "meraklidiko" (I believe that is the correct word) telescope of its day. 2-What! ...in your backyard? So, where is this bad boy hiding out at??? -
Mt. Wilson 60-inch Telescope

A digital image of the historic 60-inch reflector at Mt. Wilson, California. At one point it was the largest telescope in the world. -

All Right! Lotsa pictures. -Fredo -
Nice image you got there Dimitri. As always... any more? -Fredo -
Real nice shot there Dimitri. I wish that some of the "bright" foreground stars were not in the way. -Fred -

Hi Dimos, I have always liked that rendering from the Cosmos series. Imagine living on a planet high above the galactic plane, it would be an awesome view. I should try to paint a similar scene one day. -Fred -
Ηλιος α λα Καστελοριζο
Ο Fred Ley σχολίασε σε aristarchus για αστροφωτογραφία Έκλειψη 29/3/2006 (Καστελόριζο και αλλού)
Hey Anthony, This one one came out real nice-a beaut! The color adds to the image. Was wondering if you could post this image as a negative. Negative images are great in showing detail too. Later, Fred -
Hi Manos, Nice shot you have there. Seems like you are getting the hang of things. "Any more?" -Fred -
D. Kolovos Comet Pojmanski image at Spaceweather.com
Fred Ley δημοσίευσε μια συζήτηση σε Αστροφωτογράφιση - Γενική συζήτηση
Hi Everybody, Just noticed that on spaceweather.com there is a link to Dimitri Kolovos's image of Comet Pojmanski under "more images" on the main page. Nice going Dimitri. -
Nice image of the comet. It will be interesting to see if the tail wil get larger. Any more? -Fred -
Η πώληση του Sky&Telescope
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της aristarchus σε Αστρονομικές Εκδόσεις
Yeah, sounds about right. Come wave a wad of money in somebodys face and they allways seem to grab it. I just hope that the new owners keep Sky & Telescope the publication that it is and deserves to be. I originally sent in my subscription in December 1971 and have been a subscriber ever since. So much for my two cents worth. Look at Astronomy magazine, the last time that I looked they don't even list the name of that publications founder, Stephen Walther, in the credits. He passed away in the late 1970's-if I remember correctly. Oh well, time marches on... -Fred -
O Neil Armstrong στην Αθήνα;
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της SATI σε Η αστρονομία στην Ελλάδα
Hi Nicko, Yes, Neil Armstrong will be in Athens. Give this link a try or simply go to Google and type in "neil armstrong" +greece exactly as I have entered it here and it will give you some site to go to. Try http://www.neil-armstrong.gr/default.fds?langID=2 Hope this helps. Fred -
ΜΙΑ ΜΙΚΡΗ ΒΟΗΘΕΙΑ ΚΑΠΟΙΟΣ...
Fred Ley απάντησε στην συζήτηση του/της EVILSTAR σε Αστρονομική Παρατήρηση - Γενική συζήτηση
Hi, Looks like you may have caught the planet Venus. You may want to consult a star chart that will show you where Venus was on that particular day and in reference to where you were standing. It does look like you are looking the a Westernly direction-this was taken in the evening? If your timing was lucky, it could be an Iridium satellite, a head-on meteor or even sunlight reflecting off of a high flying aircraft. The enlargement appears to display some lateral movement that might be due to a possible low shutter speed-even though the units flash was used. Hope my two cents worth has been of somehelp to you. My apologies for this being in English, but my attempt to write in Greek would be a cosmic mess. Clear Skies, Fred
