its been a bit since my last post, only about five years is all. this is just a first attempt at a Milky Way pano. What do you think?

Yep Bruce it is really dark here. I live in southwest Colorado at an elevation of about 8000 feet in a very small valley with little development. I will post some photos of the milky way this winter when it gets even darker. Mosin.

Hi all, I am looking for a lightning trigger and am not sure which one to buy. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks for your time, Mosin.

Howdy Sarge69, this was one of my first shots with this camera as I had just recieved it in the mail a few hours prior so I am still getting the hang of it. The settings are as follows...
M, aperture 4.0, ISO 6400 30 sec exposure,white balance =daylight. with the 24-105mm lens @24mm set to infinity.
Glad you like it. I will post more as time permits.

Hello all, I just bought a Canon 6d and took this picture with it the other night. I can say I am glad I saved up and went with the full frame and the L glass. I live in very dark sky country as this picture was taken from across the street from the house. Please let me know what you think. Thanks .

Great shots Roycebair. I too enjoy night sky photography as well. I have a question for you as you seem to be the one to ask. I need to upgrade cameras from an old s5is which worked enough for me to get the basics down when I installed chdk for the intravelometer and longer exposure times. My question to you is what would be the best mid range dslr for this type of work? I only have a budget of about $1000-1200. Thank you for your time and again great shots. Mosin.

Hello sir, just wondering why you are selling the lense and what do you think of the t4i so far? I would like to get on soon. Thanks for your time.

Taken around 10:00 pm in November 2012 somewhere in the Colorado rockies. 15 min. exposure.

Sorry to mislead you. I did not mean astrophotography. I will be taking long exposure shots of the night sky and mountains. The reason for the upgrade is because I am currently using my oldish Canon s5is with chdk installed for the intervalometer. this camera was great when just starting out but I have out grown it.Maybe one of these days I will aquire the skillset to attempt astrophotography just not yet. Thanks for the reply though.

Hi all, new here to UHH. Lokks to be a great site though. I have a question, which would be the better camera for taking night sky photos the canon t4i or the 60d. These are in my budget and skill level. Thanks for your time.
