While my DSLR was shooting the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, my C11 (Elf) and ASI294MC Pro (which has no name) was shooting the currently famous comet at f/1.9. Below we have the result of 120 60 second images with both the comet and stars stacked independently. I’ve seen better but this one is mine. Taken Friday evening at the River Ridge Observatory.
To be honest, it was a full spectrum modified DSLR with a dual narrowband filter to let hydrogen alpha light through. This image was made from 45 two minute images with a 50mm lens on a Canon T5i. Tracking but not guided.
Barnard’s Loop is part of the Orion molecular cloud complex which includes the Orion Nebula (below center). The bright star in the upper left is Betelgeuse while the one in the lower right is Rigel.
A few months ago I learned that there was a “horseshoe bend” in the Buffalo and I’ve been planning to go shoot it sometime. Today was the day. Ms. GPS took me right there though it was a series of increasingly sketchy roads toward the end. At the end there is a definitely non-official trail, more of a beaten path, to the edge of an overlook. I took two pictures, one with and one without a photogenic tree. I can’t decide which I like better so I include both. It’s a two hour drive but I want to return under different conditions. On the way home, I stopped at the Tyler Bend Campground and shot the cliffs over the river.
