Welcome!
My name is Gardner Gerry. I live and work in southern New Hampshire and
I am a member of the New Hampshire Astronomical Society (NHAS).
In late summer of 2004 I began to start taking widefield
astrophotos. For the first two years I was shooting film using my 35mm Nikons and prime lenses piggybacked on my
refractor mounted on a german equatorial mount. Now I have moved into prime focus astrophotography. I still consider what
I am doing widefield, as the SV80S at f/4.9 yeilds a frame 2° x 3° with the Canon 350D DSLR I now use.
I image primarily from YFOS, the dark sky observing site of
NHAS.
Special thanks to the folks in the NHAS photo commitee and the film
astrophotography forum and the DSLR and digital camera imaging and processing forum of Cloudynights.com for kind advice
and encouragement.
Unless noted I have kept these images as close to the full frame of the sensor as
possible and resized to 1200 pixels across to keep the image scale and page size consistent for the viewer. This should allow
a good comparison of relative sizes of the objects presented here.
