Happy Birthday 
Incredible gallery! Are you using CCD and Film? And if you are, what's your scope set up?
No film. CCD only.
Early images were done with a Pentax K10D and then I moved onto a Starlight Xpress SXVF-M8C which is a 4mp CCD with very small pixels (3.125u) and TEC cooling.
Main imaging scope is a little Skywatcher Equinox 66 @ f/6. Basically just a very good telephoto lens. I use a Skywatcher Mak-Cas 150 for the planetary and high magnification images.
Mount is a Skywatcher NEQ6 Synscan with guiding via a SX Lodestar and basic 9x50 finder/guide scope.

Sweet. I never really got into the photography, but I did get into actually drawing my observations. Had a book of them for a while, lost it. All I have left of my drawings is a colored Mars from 2003. I have a 10 inch Schmidt-Newtonian with Meade's Autostar. Thats what I used for all my observations.
Fantastic shots.
