Joaquin and Yago Ferreiros's CCD Astro Images
(Updated April 14th
2009)
In Spanish
We are Joaquin (father) and Yago (son), amateur astronomers from Spain, from the Agrupacion Astronomica de Madrid. We obtained the Jupiter image at left on october/1999 from our backyard in Pozuelo de Alarcon (Spain), seven miles away from Madrid downtown, with our C-8 scope and our home-built Cookbook 245 CCD camera. During the following years, we have upgraded our equipment.

First light of the new STL11000 camera, from our new observatory in Pozuelo (10 Km from Madrid center). Eight and a half hours of accumulated exposure (multiple 30 min subexposures) through a 7 nm H alpha filter (Baader), using the FSQ106 astrograph. Ionized Hidrogen gas glows (H alpha: 656 nm), in the area of the Cone nebulla (NGC 2264). The field is 4 degrees wide.
