Great pix, Nitro. I would also like to know more about your setup: scope, camera, coupling device, etc

Re: Isn\'t Jupiter Cool?
Not the best of shots considering my equipment, an 11 inch SCG, and a 6 megapixel camera. Although, those shots were my first attempt with my then new camera.
I'm going to try a new technique of stacking shots, which is supposed to produce clearer images. You take multiple shots at a shorter exposure time and then superimpose them together to make the final image. Tracking doesn't become as critical either.

It also has a metallic core, and oddly enough that metal is hydrogen. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

Kiessling,
You can do planetary and lunar astrophotos in an urban environment because those objects are relatively bright.
Deep sky objects (anything out of our solar system such as star clusters, nebulas, galaxies, etc) require pretty dark skies to be photographed. Deep sky objects are much dimmer and are more adversely affected by light pollution.

Did you lock the mirror up in the camera?

I live about 25 miles NW of Chicago.
The D60 has the option to lock the mirror, one of the reasons I bought it.
Here's a Star Cluster. See the Binary Star in the top right corner.
