Planetary Alignment-8-7-08
Hi,
Here are last nights planet alignment shots, the 'normal' wide field taken with the tripod mounted Nikon D300 and a Nikkor 85mm f/1.4, 2000 ISO 2.5sec. The close-up of the two planets taken with the D300 attached to a Takahashi E180ED f2.8 astrograph. with a crop to show each planet & surrounding satellites/stars. Again, short exposures at 2000 ISO. One shot (camera) shows a meteor joining the group! Regards Shevill
