By Rex A Parker PhD... with a nod to sci-fi author Vernor Vinge, here is my gallery of deep sky and solar system astrophotography. All originals from telescopes located at my home observatory in central New Jersey near the Delaware River (40 deg N lat), or operated remotely from Chile at Observatorio El Sauce in the Atacama high desert (-30 deg S lat, 1530m elev). A few are from Mt Lemmon AZ. See text section at right for description of equipment and process. The Chilean remote imaging project is a collaboration with Mark Hanson, Steve Mazlin, Stuart Forman, and Stan Watson.
A few of my articles and ideas can be found to the right in the blog section of this site. Also, as Director of one of the coolest astronomy clubs on the planet -- Amateur Astronomers Association of Princeton -- I invite you to tune in to AAAP's monthly presentations on-line. Our live meetings feature talks by astronomers and astrophysicists, broadcast via Zoom and YouTube on the 2nd Tues night each month. https://www.princetonastronomy.org/index.php A growing library of science and how-to astronomy presentations can be found on AAAP's YouTube channel, https://www.youtube.com/@amateurastronomersassociat1439
