What to Look For in the the Astronomy Section

If you are a novice to the world of CCD imaging, you might want to follow the illustrated online manual link at the JIMSAIP link to learn a little about what is possible with digital images. The manual is not intended to be a mini-course on image processing, but the many examples and explanations may bring some concepts clear to you. Also note that most astro images are links to exposure info. Just click on the image to see the data and use your back button to return.

If you are experienced with the 'pretty pictures' phase of CCD imaging and are wondering what else you could do with your camera, check out the asteroid, Variable Nebulae, and Eclipsing Binaries links for some ideas. I've tried to put together enough information that beginners can get started quicker. As always, feel free to contact me at jim@jamesroe.com.
