Sky condition early this morning

CCD vs Film? Lots of time vs no patience? Alright, this is your place to discuss all the astrophotography what's and what's not. You can discuss about techniques, accessories, cameras, whatever....just make sure you also post some nice photos here too!

Sky condition early this morning

Post by Gary »

Inspired by Michael Covington's long article in Astronomy Jan 2011 edition and Sky&Tel's Beautiful Universe 2011 mag (comes with free full sky mosaic CD!), I took a few shots early this morning to encourage everyone not to totally give up observing the skies this month!

Canon Powershot A720IS single shots with some light photoshoping:

Doggie thru the window @ 2:30 AM (2 Dec 2010)

Seven Sistas & Auriga @ 3:15 AM (2 Dec 2010)

Poop Deck (Puppis Constellation) @ 3:50 AM (2 Dec 2010)

Thanks. :) How to Zzz when Saturn was about to rise? lol. Kidding. Was too tired. Went to bed "early" after the last shot.

Sky is quite cloudy but still can have a good time observing
when the atmospheric conditions improve intermiitently
Seven sistas is quite obvious in the middle photo left side [smilie=good-job.gif]
