A page for all those budding astrophotographers out there to show us the images they have captured on their own equipment or whilst using the DAS dome telescopes.
It would be most useful to supply some information on each picture for example, Who took the image?, what is it of? and the date taken. If you can also supply details of the scope and settings as well as the camera used that would be even better.
