Jupiter, 30 seconds at f/2.8, ISO 800, 24mm |
Early attempt - you can just make out The plough! 180 secs, f/2.8, ISO 400, 45mm |
Really amazed by this one, which was entirely accidental! An aircraft cutting right
across Jupiter!! |
My first photo of the Milky Way that worked! A little editing to get it like this. |
Better one of the Milky Way but with some cloud at the bottom. |
Jupiter again, 90 secs, F/2.8, ISO 640, 68mm |
The Plough in a very starry sky, but a bit of light and cloud creeping in (not totally
dark). |
The Milky Way, 150 secs, f/2.8, ISO 800, 36mm |
A better one of The Milky Way, 120 secs, f/2.8, ISO 640, 24mm |
Experimental one of The Milky Way using a much cheaper 18-250mm Sigma lens (APS-C), 90 secs, f/3.5, ISO 800, 18mm |
The Moon and Venus, as the sun was about to rise, |
Same photo cropped |
Sunrise! |
Sunrise again |
On the right side of the central triangle of larger stars there's a little blue blob. |
Cropped version of the original of the above, with the comet's tail just visible! |
