Here are some images taken with my Celestron Origin. This 6-inch smart telescope has some amazing capabilities that are built into the package. The images below taken with the telescope "out of the box." I've applied some minimal post-processing to some of the images. Most of these pictures were all taken from a suburban Florida site that has a lot of light pollution. So far all of the pictures were taken using the clear filter. A few early "lessons learned"...
Questions/comments? Contact Steve with comments and suggestions. Check out my weather modeling pages. To help my observation planning, I'm upgrading some of my forecast pages to add cloud cover estimates. | ![]() |
