The silver lining of the September 8th, San Diego blackout is that we all got unplugged :)). That led to all of us spending time together in the backyard, lying on the hammock and on blankets, gazing at the millions of stars lighting up the night sky. I pulled out the telescope and we ended up watching:
1) Craters of moon
2) Vashister and Arundathi (in Sabtharishi, aka Ursa Major)
3) Double Cluster in Perseus
4) Ring Nebula
5) Andromeda Galaxy
The above fotos are from the web. These fotos are almost like what you can see with my telescope. Right now, I can't take fotos like this but soon, I am hoping to!!!
The star trails foto below is what I took during the blackout. It is my first attempt and I have a lot to experiment and learn. Be warned, you will get a good dose of these fotos :)

I like the star trail shots with some object (like the roof in your shot) in front at least with a hr exposure.
ReplyDeleteGood try for the first time. We will try again if weather permits when we meet next time
I love the Ring Nebula and Star Trials awesome
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeletehow long it took to get the star trail ?
@Di
ReplyDeleteAgree foreground objects make sky shots interesting. Sure, lets try when you show up here next time.
@Sathi
All you need for start trails is a camera with BULB setting and a tripod. Try it.
@Sri
That is a 10 minute exposure :)
Ring nebula is awesome !!!
ReplyDelete@Vijay,
ReplyDeleteI am curious: Are any of your friends or any one you know in Chennai, interested in astronomy??
