Where did you take these?

What was the exposure time and telescopic magnification used to obtain this interesting photo?

williampcochran · « **Reply #103 on:** 04/01/2011 16:29:00 »

guess i could have given more information. i only have an Orion 4.5 inch reflector with no motor or electronics. however i crafted a wooden mount to hold a digital camera to the eyepiece. the eyepiece was standard and came with the telescope but i don't remember (maybe 13mm or 15mm) but with a 4 sec exposure and a little patients, you can get alot done. also i edited the individual photos into one aligned photo with GIMP2

The Hubble Ultra Deep Field

I think this represents what equates to a portion of the sky the size of a pinhead !!!

Each speck in this picture is a galaxy....each galaxy has about 100-300 BILLION Stars !!..and there's something like 100-300 BILLION Galaxies out there !!

Do you get it ?...can you even imagine such a thing ?...can you even fathom it ?

Here is another bit of the moon.

If you stick with this, you can collect the whole thing.

I plan to link the webcam up for the lunar eclipse, weather permitting.

Wow, what are those round spots, I wonder...?

Great photo. It's a violent universe out there. What do you mean by "the truth is out there" ?

In one of those galaxy's there are aliens, that have built a time machine...I hope.

Another nice pic!

PS You can insert the images into your posts (rather than just attaching them) if you click on the "insert attachment"; then the picture is displayed in all its glory in your post. I've edited the ones above to do this for you.

There is something of an ambiguity whether someone who dispenses medication should be called a "Pharmicist" or a "Chemist"(at least in Australia).

This one is claiming to be both! (and he knows about hair shampoo and/or mascara too...)
Can you identify the chemicals displayed?

Could be Retinol (Vitamin A) on the right ...

I'm a pharmaceutical chemist (at least by qualification), but I don't dispense drugs
They appear to be stylised representations of fluoxetine, propofol and retinol.
