Sirius

The sky was clear tonight so I decided to try the telescope.  I have been reading up on Astrophotography and although I don't think I am proficient yet I was able to get the telescope focused and an image which is at least pleasing to look at...

Sirius

There are so many problems with this image it is not even funny.  However, I am just so excited about this new form of Photography I had to post something!

Here is another shot...  Our dog, Tessa, got in on the action here.  Perhaps because Sirius is part of the Dog constellation?  No, actually it is because I did not lock her in the house!  She barely brushed the tripod during the shot...  It is kind of pretty in it's own right but it really shows how stable you have to have the equipment to get a good shot.

Oh well, I had a lot of fun.

Till next time,
