All images are real-time (max 90sec exposure) captures made with an SX-825 mono camera and LodestarLive software. No post processing has been applied and no intermediate data files were saved. What you see in this gallery is exactly what was seen on the computer screen during the observation session.

All captures were made in Seattle from a location with direct view of downtown and all its lights about 3 miles away and through the moisture laden, low transparency atmosphere typical for the region. Narrowband filters were used to suppress light pollution.

A discussion thread on the use of the SX-825 camera for electronically assisted real-time observing can be found here

No processing was applied, the images are as they were captured during live observation sessions.
