The Seven Sisters Observatory
Manchester, Michigan
Clay Kessler's Astrophotography Page!
A loose collection of rumors, rants, commentary and, of course, Astrophotos.
So - here I am out in Manchester Michigan under relatively dark sky. I really like the area and my new house. The observatory consists of a permanently mounted pier in the back yard that supports my G11 mount and whatever tube I have mounted on it. While the work around the house will never be finished, I find myself with more time for astronomy and astrophotography.
I have also shifted to digital imaging. I have a Canon 10D DSLR and I have been using this much more than film lately. I will be sharing my experiences as I climb the learning curve with this camera. I have a new Rebel XTi unmodified camera to work with - lots of stuff to learn.
Note the new imaging setup. I now have a William Optics Megrez 90 APO and a William Optics ZenithStar 66SD APO. Also note the clouds that came with the 90! The 66 has been working out very well and I expect great things of the 90.
