Connor Cochrane Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I couldn't find a topic for this, though maybe I just missed it. This is for photos of the night sky: Landscapes, The Moon, and Stars all work. Because of the smoke the moon was really Orange today. I've never really tried night photography before, and I'm sure I used incorrect technique (maybe I can try again tomorrow), but I ended up using an 1/4 second exposure to capture this photo. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestranger Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Just after sunset a few nights ago. I overexposed the moon a bit while trying to get the best exposure to show the colours the clouds were catching. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted August 22, 2021 Share Posted August 22, 2021 One more! For now... :) I know it's not a great photo, but it's Jupiter and three of its moons. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love these! Are you using the same setup as for birding? I got a pic of Jupiter with my old point and shoot two years ago but it’s difficult now with my DSLR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took the crescent moon photo with my birding setup, but the Jupiter photo was taken with my point-and-shoot and the others were taken with a DSLR and an 18-55mm lens.

I just recently got the 18-55mm, I’ll have to try it out when I go to the family property next (Light pollution is bad down here :/) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's a lens that comes in a Nikon kit (AF-P Nikkor 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR). But they are probably pretty similar. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Nice clear sky last night, but my lens kept fogging up, so I didn't get many keepers. I think some low fog was moving through. I believe the large bright thing at the far left is either Jupiter or Saturn. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was wondering about technique. The ones with lit up foregrounds, did you use flash along with a long exposure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghann Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 A few of mine, moon taken through our telescope (a lovely 8 inch dobsonian) by holding my camera up to the eyepiece. Lol. Fuzzy, but. . .Saturn! And the eclipse in 2017, featuring Mercury just to the right of the sun, and a plane on the right. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
