More Constellations – Sprewell Bluff – Thomaston, GA (07/01/08)

Here is some more pictures from July 1 when I was out at Sprewell Bluff. In this batch, I have one of my favorite constellations – Coma Berenices, as well as one of my more favorite shots of late, Saturn, Mars and Regulus. Also included are some of Cygnus, Lyra and more.

Again, all pictures taken with the same specifications as mentioned in previous posts.

Scorpius & the Milky Way – Sprewell Bluff – Thomaston, GA (07/01/08)

The constellation Scorpius along with the Milky Way Galaxy. Within the Milky Way, several other features are noticeable, such as M7 (Ptolemy’s Cluster) and M20 & 21 (Trifid Nebula). Though the resolution of these, and other nebulae and star formations are not great, you can still see that they are there and where they exist.

Saturn, Mars & the Moon + The Big Dipper – May 7, 2008

I thought the shot with Saturn, Mars and the Moon is really cool. The Moon is so bright due to the long exposure (30s and then15s, and then I believe 5s for the dimmest one). Once again, I came close to getting all of Ursa Major (the Big Dipper), but once again I failed by about three stars… if only I had been more patient!
