A selfie of me observing with the 20cm Sky-Watcher Dobsonian telescope on a June night in the backyard. Shot for a book illustration of accessories and observing. The sky is blue from solstice twilight as this was June 18, 2020. The galactic core is at centre; Jupiter is rising at left. This is a blend of a single exposure for the sky, a stack of six exposures for the ground to smooth noise, and a separate single exposure for me. All 15 seconds at ISO 3200 with the Canon 6D MkII and 35mm lens at f/2.8 focused for the foreground. This can be exported in a version without me in it, with just the telescope!
A selfie with me pointing out the Northern Lights display on the night ogf May 29-30, 2020 from home in Alberta. This was a modest Kp3 - 4 display but even that low-level display has been rare lately. Illumination is from the waxing quarter Moon behind the camera. A single shot with the 24mm Sigma Art lens and Nikon D750.
