Orion and the winter constellations setting over the old Farmhouse at home, in the dawn twilight on the morning of November 14, 2015. Canis Major and Sirius are at left; Taurus and Aldebaran and the Pleiades are at right. Procyon is at upper left. This is a stack of 4 x 20 second exposoures for the ground to smooth noise and one 20-second exposure for the sky, all with the Nikon D810a at ISO 1600 and 14-24mm Nikkor zoom lens at f/2.8.
Two Taurid meteors from the November 2015 shower, on November 10, taken from home as part of testing the Nikon D810a and 14-24mm Nikon lens. Green airglow lights the sky, as well as horizon glows from distant lights on this very frosty and humid night for a late fall evening. This is a stack of two exposures, one for each meteor, each 60 seconds at f/2.8 and at 14mm and at ISO 800, both tracked on the AP Mach One mount.
The constellations of Orion (centre), Taurus (at upper right), and Canis Major (lower left) in the dawn sky on a frosty November morning in the twilight and moonlight, taken from the backyard in southern Alberta. Orion’s Belt points up to Aldebaran and the Hyades, and down to Sirius. This is a stack of 6 x 15 second exposures for the ground to smooth noise, and one 15s exposure for the sky, to prevent trailing. All with the Nikon D750 at ISO 2000 and Sigma 24mm lens at f/4.
