Astrophotography by T.Yoshida Weblog

I just put my new picture on my website. This picture is the Veil nebula. I took this picture with my Epsilon250 and STL camera.

My astrophotography have been put on display in Hiroshima city. So I went to Hiroshima last weekend. In Hiroshima I met a lot of people who like to see Astrophotography. I felt really honored and I really appreciate that many people come to see my pictures.

Hiroshima is known throughout the world as the first city in history subjected to nuclear warfare. So I visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial, Atomic Bomb Dome, by Hiroshima streetcar. I could see the memorical clearly.

I also took a picture of the moon on last Sunday night. It's a waning Crescent Moon. Over here in Japan, this moon phase is called "Ariake no Tsuki".

I took this picture with my TOA130s Telescope and Canon DSLR camera. I had been using Nikon D50 modified model for astrophotography. But, I changed mind last year and then I bought a Canon EOS400D. Now I have been using it for taking a picture of Moon.

CanonEOS400D is one of the most popular Digital SLR camera in Japan. A lot of people here taking astrophotography use EOS400D. I also like to use it. It is really dependable.

I took a picture of Clavius crater on the moon last night. The nightsky was very clear. So I can see many tiny details on the Moon.

I used Mewlon300 when I took this picture. Takahashi Mewlon300 is one of the largest model in Takahashi. Over here in Japan, it isn't popular very much. But many American love to use it. I also like to use it.

Clavius Crater is one of the my favrite crater. It's a very large crater on the Moon. It has 225km diameter. I could see many small crater inside in the crater.

I'm luckly to take a photograph of Jupiter yesterday. Yesterday is really good condition for taking planet picture. In fact, I think it is the best in this year.

I took this picture with my TOA130s telescope and ToUcamPro camera. ToUcamPro camera is a Web camera. It is one of the most popular camera for taking picture.

I could see a lot of tiny details on Jupiter through telescope last night. I had really good time..
