Bob Colvert

Bob does Electronically Assisted Astronomy (EAA).  EAA sits between visual astronomy and astrophotography.  A camera replaces the eye piece and gives live viewing on a screen.  For faint objects software stacks up photons in real time, results show on the screen in seconds and improve with exposure time.  None of these EAA photos have had post processing accept perhaps croping.

Bob uses a Celestron 8″ NexStar Evolution Computerized Telescope with StarSense autoalign.  The image train is a Optilong L-pro filter, a Starizona Night Owl .4x SCT Reducer and Corrector with a ZWO asi290 color camera.  Camera control and image stacking and capture is done using SharpCap software and a laptop PC.
