So, it has been somewhat exciting for me lately when it has come to Astrophotography. I recently contacted a seller on craigslist about an ad and have seemed to have found a new friend and fellow astronomer Abraham. After numerous text messages to whom our wives were calling our "mistresses" we finally met up and eventually decided to combine our equipment. He had a monochrome camera (I have/had a color one, explanation coming later), I had a good mount and he had a larger telescope than mine and together we produced this image of the Elephant Trunk in a very limited amount of time. Needless to say this was amazing for the both of us since neither of us have produced anything like this before in such a short amount of time.

With this came along my own desire to own my own monochrome camera and with help from others and a very understanding, wonderful, beautiful most incredible wife, did I mention she is beautiful? (I love you Krystal lol), I sold my SBIG STF-8300 CCDcolor camera and I was able to purchase the SBIG STF-8300 CCD Monochrome camera and 8 position filter wheel with H-Alpha filter to produce this image of the Rosette Nebula. I am slowly saving up to buy more filters, first on the list are the R-G-B filters followed by others eventually. I am having so much fun!
