I saw the faint aurora on Tuesday night and was ready to get back to a night of work when my brother called at 2 am reporting this aurora, visible from his dorm room. Another gorgeous shot of the third major aurora during the week. This was a 30 second exposure taken near 2:30am with a Sony DSC F-717. Taken with my brother Eric about 10 minutes north of Ann Arbor's north campus. As we arrived, the aurora was quite bright. This was the first shot of the evening: 30 seconds on a Sony DSC F-717. Another shot of the wonderful aurora. I was sitting at the law library when Kevin Jung informed me that the 'sky was burning.' I am glad I didn't miss out! This is a composite of eleven CCD images taken at the James C. Veen Observatory, in Lowell, Michigan on 11 April 2002. Tom Haynes was teaching me the basics of CCD astrophotography. Great teacher! A wonderfully powerful aurora as seen over the west dome of the James C. Veen Observatory. Taken in Ann Arbor, Michigan with a Sony DSC F-717 (heavily photoshopped). Not much of an aurora picture, but a nice view of the sky. It was difficult to get away from Ann Arbor's light pollution. This was my first attempt at astrophotography with my Sony DSC F-717. This was taken with my brother in Ann Arbor using my digital camera. Almost no digital enhancement. Not too bad without my telephoto lens! I believe this was the first astrophoto I ever took; not too bad for a beginner! This was taken at the James C. Veen Observatory using the 4" Takahashi telescope (then in the east dome). One of my earliest astrophotos. Taken at the James C. Veen Observatory using a 4" Takahashi refractor. Not my favorite Orion, but the only one that is scanned. Notice the lack of red: clearly Kodak film. This was taken using the 4" Takahashi refractor at the James C. Veen Observatory. .
