Digital Astrophotography with the TeleVue 60isAt the 2005 Texas Star Party I saw a prototype of the TeleVue 60is imaging system and fell in love with it. Later that year by a great stroke of fortune I was asked by Astronomy Magazine to do a review of this new imaging telescope. As readers of the September, 2006, issue of ASTRONOMY have seen, I was very impressed with the instrument....so much so that I refused to give it back! I bought it so I could keep it. Now that the review article has been published, I am free to display images that I have taken through the 60is with my Hap Griffin IR mod Canon 300D camera.. I think you will see the 60is is quite a performer!Images taken at the Eldorado Star PartyImages taken at the Texas Star Party Images taken at the X-Bar Ranch
