Focus on Arp

Posted by ice (Texas, United States) on 23 February 2007 in People & Portrait.

Here friend and fellow JSCAS member Dennis Webb is hard at work pouring over maps and sky charts, using his telescope and ccd camera to image Arp Peculiar Galaxies.

In the background, facing Southwest, you can see the star trails. The camera was set to wide open and focus set at infinity. In order to have Dennis better in focus, I should have stopped down alot.

Check out Dennis' book on the Arp Peculiar Galaxies.
