CCD ASTRONOMICAL IMAGES FROM CANBERRA

Welcome! My name is Steve Crouch and I live in Canberra in the Australian Capital territory.  Click here to see my geographical location.  Canberra is a city of about 300,000 and the skies are reasonably good at my outer suburban location. I have been involved in astronomy since the sixties.

My main activity is CCD imaging from my backyard observatory using the following equipment:

MOUNT Losmandy HGM200
CCD CAMERAS CURRENTLY OWNED ST10-XME, ST-5C, Toucam Pro II Webcam, STL11000M
IMAGING ACCESSORIES AO7, Astrophysics focal reducer, Optec focal reducer, Lumicon Giant Easy Guider, SBIG CLA-7 camera lens adapter
ADDITIONAL TELESCOPES OWNED C8, Meade ETX-90, Coronado MaxScope 40

 The following links lead to examples of my work.  The shots under the "Recent Images" heading eventually migrate to the appropriate category pages.  Older images will be progressively removed as they are replaced with newer versions.
