Posted By Joe McBride

How long can you go on a fixed tripod before trailing occures and with what lenses and at what dec. in the sky.

Thanks

Venus transit on film

Posted By Joe McBride

I just got my slides processed so here is an image from that roll. I used provia 400 and a 70mm refractor at prime focus and 1/125 sec no filter. Sorry about the dust specks...I copied this image with my digital camera.

Hi All, Here is my first stacked photo done by scanning. The exposures were (40,40,25) on E200 through a FS102. There is some glaring around some of the brightest stars which is from scanning.

Enjoy!

M45

Posted By Joe McBride

Here is a recent image I took using data from 2 different nights. The orentation is different and it shows some what in the background. It is a 40 minute and a 25 minute exposures stacked in Picture Window and processed in PS. I need to work on my scanning. The stars in this shot are big and ugly but the nebula shows up nicely. I used a FS102 @ f/8 for the images.

Enjoy if You can!
