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.
Constellations, cont. – Thomaston, GA
Here is the first batch of pictures I took this morning (July 1, 2008 ) from around 1:30am to 3:00am. All pictures are taken with a Canon EOS 350D, focal length of 18mm, exp. 30s, and iso 1600.
Also, all pictures have been edited in Paint Shop Pro.
Constellations & Planets – Thomaston, GA
There’s a lot here! All of these, plus the previous two posts were taken from June 23-June 26.
Photos so far…
Here is what I have so far… although not great, but I think my scope is finally getting to temp. The two on the left are the Seven Sisters Nebula cluster (although I don’t think I got all seven – Andrew help me out!) the one on the left is Orion’s Nebula – or Orion A (sorry it didn’t put that last time) – it is part of Orion’s Sword, right in the middle (the middle of the three). I’m bout to head back out soon… the Moon is’t up yet, and I may attempt Saturn… never done that before, but Dr. Schmude (old Astronomy prof.) said I should!
