Recent Observers
The following pages contain images taken by guests who have participated in the Advanced Observing Program. In many cases these images were taken by guests who had never used a DSLR camera to image the night sky before. The images have been arranged chronologically, starting with the most current. Click on the preview images for larger versions.
These images were taken using a Canon Digital Rebel or EOS 5D digital camera attached to one of the telescopes here on Kitt Peak. You can do digital imaging during our visual Advanced Observing Programs.
