This cover image is several exposures ( maybe around 32?) With around 10 dark frames,taken overhead in my front yard(the one with the evil street light lol).Stacked in Deep Sky Stacker and edited in Ps.

The first two photos in this album are the difference between tracking and stacking piggy backed on +Mike Rector ‘s telescope (Omni XLT)and the second,my camera alone on a tripod.

The second image was taken with these specs:
Canon EOS 7D
Exposure: 25 sec (1/0)
Aperture: f/2.8
Focal Length: 17 mm
ISO Speed: 400

In album At Night (4 photos)

    +Chris Bagley  Thank you ! I have a fair bit of light pollution going on but Luckily I am able to get around that with multiple exposures.Tiy know until last summer I never really SAW the Milky Way , but laying in a park looking up with your eyes adjusted,even with some darn light pollution ..it's really amazing,from our perspective it's like it's hugging the earth.

  3. Triple Plus!  Very terrific to hear you are working on such a project.  My friend +russ vallelunga will be most interested in your work.  He too is exploring the universe with the giantest telescope he somehow attaches his camera to.
