The obscure contelllation of Lacerta the Lizard near Cepheus and Cygnus off the northern Milky Way. This is with the 135mm telephoto lens and so the field is similar to low-power binoculars. The open clusters NGC 7243 (left) and NGC 7209 (right) are at top. This is a stack of 5 x 30-second exposures at f/2 with the Canon 135mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 3200 on the Star Adventurer Tracker, layered with a stack of 2 x 30s exposures taken through the Kenko Softon A filter to add the star glows.
Leo and Coma Berenices, April 2004. Jupiter is brightest object at bottom centre. Taken with 55mm lens at f/5 on Pentax 6x7 camera with Fujichrome 400F slide film, 120-format, and 25 minute exposure. Glow layer added to fuzz bright stars.
The constellations of Leo and Hydra rising in the east on a larte autumn/early winter night at about midnight, as shot from Arizona at the Quailway Cottage. The head of Hydra is the pentagram-like shape at upper right. Regulus is the brightest star at left. M67 is the little cluster above Hydra, in Cancer. Bands of airglow and light pollution from Deming off haze discolors the sky. This is a stack of 5 x 2 minute exposures at f/2 with the 35mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600 on the iOptron Sky-Tracker.
