A deep-sky observer at the top of a tall ladder looking through a tall and large Dobsonian telescope, at the Texas Star Party, May 2015. Scorpius is rising in the background; Saturn is in the head of Scorpius as the bright star above centre. Anatares is just below Saturn. This is a single 30-second exposure at f/2.5 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 6400.
Observers at the Texas Star Party explore the wonders of the deep sky under the rising Milky Way, in May 2015. Sagittarius and Scorpius are in the background, with the centre of the Galaxy rising in the southeast. This is a single 30-second exposure at f/2 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII at ISO 4000.
A self-portrait of me standing under the dark skies of the Gila National Wilderness, in New Mexico, while taking images of the Milky Way, March 10, 2015. The northern winter Milky Way stretches from horizon to zenith. Orion is at centre, with Canis Major and Sirius below. The bright object at upper left is Jupiter near the Beehive star cluster in Cancer. Procyon is between Jupiter and Sirius, while Caster and Pollux in Gemini are at top. Some green bands of airglow are visible near the horizon. This is a single 30-second exposure at f/2.8 with the 14mm Rokinon lens and Canon 6D at ISO 6400.
