My Adventures in CCD Imaging
Yes, I'll admit it, I finally took the plunge and bought a CCD camera! I'm now the proud owner of a Starlight Express MX5 16 bit B&W CCD imager. I've had the camera for a couple of months now, and I'm still learning the ins and out of CCD imaging. But from what I've produced so far, I think this has real possibilities! Check out the images I have taken so far.

Some
of the clubs that I belong to...
The goal of the Passaic County Astronomical Association is to provide a place for individuals with an interest in astronomy to meet and share their enjoyment of the hobby.
Membership benefits include participation
in club projects, programs, club darkroom usage and the use of telescope
equipment at the Nature Center.
Next Meeting Date: Thursday
Jan. 18, 2001 7:30 PM
At this meeting our program will
be on Astronomy reference materials. Please bring up your favorite
astronomy books, star charts, computer programs etc. for discussion.
We will also be starting on the 12" mirror grinding project. If it
is clear, we may get a chance to do some observing through the clubs telescopes.
The club membership has been growing steadily, and if that continues we
will start looking for a club dark sky site.
