Various pictures taken with an Orion Skyview 120 refractor. Most are
either taken with a guided camera, or are taken with the eyepiece to digital
camera adaptor. I use an 18mm eyepiece, the wide angle setting, and about
F3.2 or so. Time exposures are 15 to 30 seconds for the stars, much less
for the moon or planets like Saturn, which are quite bright.
