That is so beautiful Barry!

How did you resolve star-trails at 35-sec exposures? I've tried EOS500D, EFS18-55, 30-sec exposure but resulted in trails.

Tried to get some trails from the Perseid event.... my wife and I only saw 1 faint trail each... oh well. End up shooting Jupiter again wahahahah.... Ok, probably can't resolve the bands without some additional equipment. But suddenly... my world became so much smaller when I saw this shot... http:...

Actually the cloud cover isn't too bad tonight. Some stray clouds, but it's pretty windy, so they blow over fast, or, at least it did between 8.30pm-10pm at Bedok Reservoir.

Caught nothing though, so wishing you all better luck!

But I'm curious... the report states: Meteors are named after the constellation from which they seem to appear -- in this case, Perseus, a northern constellation lying east of Cassiopeia and north of Taurus Looking through Stellarium, it would appear they will appear from E-NE and Cassiopeia will st...

Actually, from what I understand, 2-3am tonight (or 11 hrs from now) is when its at its peak, but all the while now we should be able to spot some of it.

wondering if Bedok Reservoir will be able to give good views, but ~ 8-9pm.... can't stay too late cos gotta work.. bleh.

Lol thanks for the comments guys :) Too cloudy tonight.. can't see crap except red skies.... And yeah, was using the cheap EF-S 55-250/4-5.6IS. EXIF data: Camera: EOS 500D Shutter Speed: 1.0sec Exposure Program: Manual F-Stop: f/5.6 ISO Speed: 800 Focal Length: 250 Wonder how it would be like to bor...

Thanks for the replies and affirmation that it was indeed Jupiter. :) I'll probably try again tonight with different settings. Weixing, saw some of your posts on clubsnap and they've been inspiring to say the least :) At shutter speeds of 2-secs and above I started to notice star-trails - the max I ...

Hi all! First time posting :D Been trying to locate the moon these few days but its been very cloudy. Last night, happened to notice a lone bright star in the east, everywhere else is just reddish clouds. Took a look into stellarium and suspected it might be Jupiter. Can anyone confirm if this shot ...
