Astrophotography Links
Incredible well organized image gallery with lots of information about individual shots by a professional sports photographer who has been doing astrophotography for over 20 years. Also great step-by-step information about processing the images through Photoshop.
Excellent site for introductory imaging information and a free exposure calculator that will give you a good starting place based on your scope, eyepiece etc. and teach how to calculate f/stop for differant configurations.
This is the ultimate site for those exploring astro imaging with web cams, consumer digital camera an other unconventional methods. Images, camera alteration and step-by-step instructions to get you imaging on a budget.

See what can be done with a web cam and commercial digital cameras. Gary does have a nice 20" Dob to gather in plenty of light, but had lots of information on using these formats for your telescope. Recently he altered an Olympus 2020 with a cooling fan, which he describes in detail.
Well we can dream anyway. This site is great for inspiration with the many remarkable images. Good wallpaper and screensaver material in easily downloadable formats.
I have been following Rick's remarkable progress on the LX-90 special interest group as he has moved from web cams and digital cameras to CCD imagers of increasing quality. This is a good site to check out what you can expect from differant types of imaging equipment through an 8" SCT.
