I received my Meade LX10 8" SCT in June 1997 and for the first 6 months used it purely for visual observation.  As with many amateur astronomers I then became tempted to try CCD imaging lured by the prospect of recording much greater detail than I could see visually.  To this end I purchased a Starlight Xpress MX516 CCD camera in December 1997.    In March 1999 a Meade 10 inch LX200 was added to the equipment used at Woodlands and in February 2000 an SBIG ST-7E CCD Camera and CFW8 Filter Wheel.  You can view the images I have taken by selecting from the categories listed below and left.  A discussion on the techniques and equipment used to obtain these images can be found on the CCD Imaging Techniques page.
