Nova Sagittarii on the morning of March 28, 2015, from New Mexico, as the nova was reported to have brightened to magnitude +5. The focal length nicely frames the Teapot asterism of Sagittarius. I shot this with the 135mm telephoto at f/2.2 for a stack of 5 x 1.5 minute exposures at ISO 800 with the Canon 5D MkII, plus one exposure of the same length but taken thru the Kenko Softon filter and layered in Photoshop to add the star glows and bring out the nova more. Camera on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer tracker.
The constellation of Pegasus the Flying Horse in the northern autumn sky, with the asterism of the Square of Pegasus most prominent at left. This is a stack of 2 x 2-minute exposures with the 35mm Canon lens at f/2.5 and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, with an additional exposure through the Kenko Softon filter layered in to add the star glows. Taken from Quailway Cottage in Arizona, with the Star Adventurer Mini tracker.
Pegasus in a stack of 5 x 4 minute exposures with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1000 and 50mm Sigma lens at f/3.2. Plus two exposures taken thru the Kenko Softon filter for the star glows. Taken from home Oct 5, 2013.
