Saturday Night, and I'm Stargazing again... This time with enhanced technology. I've hauled my computer, WOPR, out on to the patio, and I have it attached to the Telescope via a Celestron NexImage5 Astrophotography Camera. I was eager to try this CMOS Image Sensor Technology with my new Reflector Telescope. This time there are no lenses involved. The Reflector Telescope has a Parabolic first surface mirror for the primary mirror, and then a 45 degree diagonal first surface mirror for the secondary mirror. Then the light goes directly to a 5 Megapixel CMOS Image Sensor. I'm going to try and catch Saturn next...
