BillM Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 (edited) Northern Ontario is great for zero light pollution and clear skies. Took advantage of that last week on our fishing trip to setup the tripod and play around a bit. These are straight out of the camera. Still have some cleaning up to do, but I've got a pretty good base to start with.

Joey Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Great shots Bill. I set my camera up last night for the meteor shower, got it all ready, took couple test shots, then waited until after midnight as they said that was the best time, opened the back door and it was raining I then went to bed!!! I'll try again. You going to try for some meteors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillM Posted August 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I'm guessing it's a satellite. Really easy to spot them in the clear skies up north! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whopper Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I tried to capture the same shot only I was further east. My shot didn't turn out so good. Friday and Saturday's night sky was brilliant. Nice shots thank for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adempsey Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Nice photos! I am always amazed at what people can accomplish with a camera these days. Some of the images people are taking with telescopes and CCD imagers are simply astounding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
