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.
The Northern Lights beginning a display on Friday, Feb 13, from Churchill, Manitoba, on the east deck of the Churchill Northern Studies Centre. The official activity level index was near 0 at this time but we still had a marvelous display due to our location directly under the auroral oval. This displayed eventually filled much of the sky. This is a single 15-second exposure at ISO 3200 and f/2.2 with the Canon 24mm lens and Canon 6D.
