My 10D mounted piggyback on top of my scope so that the tracking prevents stars from trailing. Aimed at the milky way in Sagittarius. This is one of about 10 images I took last night. Post processing included bumping with levels and curves to enhance contrast and make the background stay black as the brightness of the stars was enhanced. There's a link to some larger format pics from this sequence here.
Hi John!
I think this is the best image of the Milky Way that I' ve seen so far.
There is a lot of detail, color and the photo is very clear, no hot pixels at all!
Congratulations!!
Awesome shots, thanks for posting them up! Isn't space the most mind-boggling thing ever? I still can't wrap my head around it, but it's sure nice to see photos of it. Now, if everyone on earth got one of those fancy, motorized tripods and set them running at the same time, would the earth cease to rotate itself, from the change in momentum? j/k of course ;-)
