Earthshine Moon and ocean

Image
Hi again! It took a while since last post but I am currently on holidays on canary islands (spain). Once I come back, I will make small Moon animation/gif. Today, which is january 19th, I had oppurtunity to catch earthshine again. It turned out great! :D Today, same as yesterday, earthshine was visible even with naked eye! I couldn't take photos yesterday as I forgot to take my DSLR when going for a walk in the evening :/ also, this time I played with lightroom a bit :)

2 in one! Jupiter and Mars paired close! 08.01.2018

So, this time it was planned pretty good :p I set my alarm to 3:30 am. My dad helped me put the telescope out. Jupiter was bright and Mars was almost not visible at all. The sky was so clear that I could see Orion Nebula a bit with my naked eye. Setting the planets as sharp as possible was hard... after photographing I felt that in my muscles... This it the picture I got, without barlow I won't get any better planets probably :/ and to use barlow I need my mirror to be higher. ISO etc. does not rly matter here as it depends on the moment.

Happy new year! Moon, Orion and fireworks

Image
Happy new year! At midnight, when I went outside, I took my camera and tripod with me. 98% Moon was glowing on the sky. Just when fireworks went off, there was huge hole in the clouds that was revealing Orion. I took 5 seconds exposure photo amd got that effect! That was the picture I wanted to get that night :) Location: 51.81N  19.31E ISO: 800 Exposure: 5 seconds
