M42 with Canon 10D

Posted By Jeff Hapeman

Rick,

Very nice shot. I'm impressed with what these CMOS-based digital cameras can do. One comment would be that the color seems a bit off. It's weak in the red; if you look at a calibrated shot taken with band-pass filters you will see what I mean. I know that the CMOS sensors are weak in red sensitiviy and the Bayesian algorithms they use will compensate. Looks like it compensates with extra blue.

Regardless, your shot is superb with excellent composition, guiding and processing.

Northern Pike

Well, having grown up in SE PA, ice fishing was totally foreign to me, too, until we bought this place in northern WI this spring. I have friends up here who are expanding my horizons....

Dark-eyed Junco

Nice picture, Ty. That is what was once called the Oregon Junco. We see them in WI eveyr year, but 99% of ours are the typcial all-gray version, and not nearly as dapper as this guy.

Mike,

That image seems to show the red-blue shift in the A ring that was described the January 2003 Sky and Telescope Observer's Log. Did you notice that when you were shooting?

Remarkable! I have never seen anything quite like it. The lighting is so unique...and the composition and exposure are perfect.
