 First up, 6 minute exposure of Scorpius rising in the SE. As you can see it still needs a little more tweaking, but I'm getting closer. The foreground will obviously be blurred but the stars should look like... well, stars! Looks like a slight speed problem as well as a slight North-South alignment problem. Notice how the streaks don't coincide with the foreground streaks. |
 This one's a little better. Can anyone pick out the Sagittarius teapot? A 5 minute exposure at 35mm. A little shorter (5 vs 6 min) and wider angle (35 vs 60mm) so the errors are less pronounced. |
 Wow, how many Messier's can you spot? M6, M7, M8, M21, M23, M16, M17, M18, M69, M54, M4, M80, M11, M20, M24 and M25. |
 * Not an EQ pic * A multi exposure of the Moon-Venus conjunction of 5/14/02. 8 exposures on the pic, but only 5 are obvious on the scan. I took 30 second exposures at 3 minute intervals. (Note to self: cut the neighbors damn tree down!) |
