Scorpio and the milky way

**eisbaer** · 9th August 2013, 06:50 PM

Stepped outside my front door and onto the driveway last night to discover a very clear and crisp evening. Usually I'd grab the telescope out but it's heavy to move and I was feeling the week's work catching up, so I thought I'd try my first longer exposure astrophotograph.

It's Scorpio and it's framed by the milky way.

For the technical details, it's a canon 1100d at 18mm, f3.5, iso 800. 10 subs at 15 seconds, 4 darks,4 bias.

Nice image, it's always hard to get good images of the night sky.

Thanks. I need to focus the lens better next time. Hopefully I can have another crack at it this weekend.

The sky has been great at night lately thanks to the high pressure system.

That's a pretty good shot!!

There was a time when I was reasonably familiar with the night sky but sort of got out of practice.

I was gonna try again tonight but it's just a touch too cloudy. I got a nice one of the crescent moon and Venus together earlier though.
