I love the photograph!
Being a amateur astrophtographer I am confused by the technical jargon saying the exposre is 300 seconds with a focal length of 200mm. This should create long star trails unless you have a tripod with tracking head on it or computer sofware to manipulate the image. Can you expand on your methods?
This is the first constellation that I remember my father pointing out to me. We spent numerous winter nights looking and studying the many interesting features within this constellation. I have continued this with my daughters and now my grandson.
Hey Barry,
I just gave the basic exposure info. The mount used was the Orion Atlas EQ-G autoguided. You can get more info on my equipment and methods from my website http://www.rankinstudio.com
Cheers!
After it was mentioned, I did see the witches hat, shoulder, nose and a small circle, which could be an eye. In the city we can't see all this, but getting away from the city light pollution it all stands out better
Light pollution is a major issue of our day. Not only does it destroy the physical connection with the night sky, but it also wastes tons of energy! I'll be exploring this issue more in later posts.
Beautiful shot. You might need to add that Pink Floyd poster!
Thanks! I figured it was a pretty well known image. Easy to find via google search :)
All I can say is O M Golly Gee whiz...this is a fantastic view. Thank you...
You are my eyes...since I have no telescope. Looking forward to all the tomorrow's can hardly wait. ;)
Thanks! Something else isn't it? Amazing stuff out there, and plenty more to come :)
This is really an awesome shot!
