Images from Death Valley (Furnace Creek)

The images below were captured on 20 Feb 2009 during a visit to Furnace Creek in Death Valley National Park.  The observing site was the Furnace Creek Airport at approximately 192 feet below sealevel.  The skies cleared about 11:30, after being cloudy for most of the earlier evening, although a very thin layer of clouds reduced the transparency and affected the color of the rendered objects.   Unless otherwise noted, these images were captured with my Orion ST120 and the Mallincam Color Hyper Plus camera piggybacked on a 10-inch Meade LX200GPS.  I used the MFR-3 focal reducer with only 5mm of spacers to produce a focal ratio of about 2.75.  The images are annotated as being either “single frame with no post-processing or as multiple frame stacks with no post-processing.   Exposure times were either 7, 14, or 28 seconds depending on the brightness of the object.   What you see here is exactly what I saw at the moment the images were captured.
