The northern spring constellation of Virgo, one of the constellations of the Zodiac. The bright star at lower left is Spica. Denebola in Leo is at top right. The field contains the realm of the galaxies in the Coma-Virgo galaxy cluster. The double star Porrima is near centre. This is a stack of 7 x 2-minute exposures with the 50mm Sigma lens at f/2.8 and Canon 6D MkII at ISO 800, on the iOptron SkyGuider Pro tracker. An exposure through the Kenko Softon A filter layered in adds the star glows. Taken on a very clear night April 24, 2020.
The constellation of Virgo. Taken from New Mexico, March 2013, with the 50mm Sigma lens at f/2.8 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 800 for a stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures + 2 exposures taken through the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows.
The early winter stars rising behind the Tower of Babel formation at Moraine Lake, Banff National Park, with a bright aurora to the north at left. Visible are the Pleiades at centre, and Capella and the stars of Auriga at left. Just above the mountain are the Hyades and Taurus rising. At top are the stars of Perseus. Aries is just above the peak of Babel. The aurora in part lights the landscape green. This is a stack of 16 images for the ground, mean combined to smooth noise, and 1 image for the sky, untracked, all for 15 seconds at f/2.2 with the Sigma 20mm Art lens, and Nikon D750 at ISO 3200. All with LENR turned on.
