A selfie with me observing the North America Nebula in the fading moonlight (thus the blue sky) on August 8, 2019 from home, using the Astro-Physics Traveler 105mm refractor on the Mach One mount. I was comparing views with various nebula filters this night. So I was actually observing! In this case using the 31mm Nagler eyepiece. A single 10 second exposure with the 35m lens and Canon 6D MkII. Focused on the foreground. Taken for a book illustration. Illumination is from the red hand controller lighting.
My deep sky photo gear and telescope shooting low in the south on a very clear summer night to capture some of the targets in Sagittarius. I am shooting the cluster M25 at this point. This is from the backyard on Aug 4-5, 2019 when there was a bright aurora as well. This is a stack of 5 x 30-second exposures for the ground and pier to smooth noise and a single 30-second exposure for the sky and moving telescope, all with the Sony a7III at ISO 6400 and Laowa 15mm lens at f/2.8.
Me conducting a laser-guided sky to the assembled multitude at the July 27, 2019 Milky Way Night at the Rothney Astrophysical Observatory south of Calgary. The skyglow from Calgary to the northeast washes out the sky to the right. This is a single frame from a 1200-frame time-lapse with the Sony a7III and Laowa 15mm lens at f/2.
