The other week I took Birmingham Astronomical Society out to the University of Birmingham Observatory. It was a lovely clear night and the first chance I've had in a number of years for a good session of observing. Its the first time I've tried successfully to use the new Meade telescope for astronomical imaging. We have a pretty nice setup and these are just the first images, I expect we can get much better once we get used to the telescopes characteristics and the filters. Anyway, here are a few images:
M104 - Sombrero_Galaxy
M82 - the Cigar Galaxy
M51 - Whirlpool Galaxy
Saturn
