VBAS Imaging Team Images
The VBAS Imaging Team has recently captured a number of awe inspiring images. The VBAS Imaging Team is: Frank Schenck, Don Reed, Jared Cassidy, Doug Horacek, Richard Norman, Jeff Delmas, and continues to grow as more up and coming astrophotographers join the effort. These images were captured with a variety of cameras and telescopes, owned by both VBAS and individual members. We hope you enjoy these images. Please check back from time to time as we add additional images.
Swanson Images
July 20, 2011
Doug, and Richard were able to capture these images of the Supernova SN 2011dh in M51. The two images have been capture one in April when there was no sign of the supernova, and one on June 19th at 0200 UTC almost at the peak of the activity.
Through a great deal of effort by many VBAS members, we have begun to make noticeable progress with making the Swanson 21 inch telescope functional. Jeff Delmas provided these images that were captured by our StellaCam recently. The images have only been mildly enhanced in Photoshop and not stacked. The images are generally about eight second exposures.
