Photography talk , post up your images.

Having said that, you have street names like Achter den Engelschen Pispot (Den Bosch).

Note: Love you guys, and I worked in Amsterdam for three years...

All wired up and ready to go...How things have changed since I last was seriously involved in astro photography.. That little wireless doohickey, is actually a computer in its own right..guides, stacks, and points.. Assuming I have wired it all correctly...:whistle:. So I can drive it from inside with a tablet, with no fear of mosquitoes, snakes, drop bears, spiders and crocodiles...=))

Thats a big lens. You must be taking photos of planets and constellations and not landscapes?

Yes , that is what it is for, It is actually only 250mm. but designed for astro. Subject matter is usually nebulae and galaxies,its too short FL for planetary.. :thumbsup:
 
Still must take some pretty decent pictures.

There are a few astro shots earlier in this thread, that I took with it.. :thumbsup:. hey are OK, I hope to improve on them with this new mount setup..
 
Looking forward to see the results.
I would like to learn how to make better use of my phones ( decent for a phone ) camera set up ( should also use a tripod would help)

If we're doing moon picture

DSC00221.JPG


Shadows going across the top right highlighting the rim of the Mare Crisium crater (sea of crises). I must have been holding the camera at a slight angle. Lucky. Normally I don't get a sharp shot free hand on full zoom. I had it set to take 10 quick shots and that was the only clear one.

Camera is Sony WX500.

Keeping on the astronomy theme ...

Lunar eclipse - Dec 21st 2010
Taken using an old, fully manual, Sigma 400mm lens (=600mm) on a Nikon D70s.
Also hand-held @ 1/200th sec and @ISO 1600, from my bedroom window
