Photos of the heavens

Here you will find photographs taken by Brandon A. Evans with a Meade ETX 80 telescope that has been equiped with a Meade LPI imager.

The photos are not high quality, nor do they reflect anything other than an amateur's first attempt a snapping photos of the sky.

In time, and with better equipment (not to mention more training), the photos will improve and evolve.

Note that all the background images and artwork on this page -- products of the Hubble Space Telescope -- have been taken from www.hubblesite.org (credited to NASA and STScI) and are part of the public domain.

So, browse the photos found in the categories to the right and enjoy!

These are photos that I've altered in Photoshop to either bring out certain details or to adjust color/brightness.
