Saw this on reddit, thought you guys might like it:

The final result is an interactive, zoomable sky map showing the full Milky Way and the stars, planets, galaxies and nebulae around it.

Well that settles it, I never have to bother taking my camera out at night because I can't imagine a way to match that kind of effort.

Don't know what thread this should go in, but Mercury, venus, mars and jupiter are all going to have a dance off this month.

Hopefully some of you guys get good shots!

Anybody doing their long exposures with a NEX? I've been thinking of selling my canon gear in favor of a much smaller system like the NEX and wanted to know how it performs at night.

I've been on an underexposure kick lately. I think it works especially well with night time shots.

Took these messing around in the mountains of Phoenix.

It's a fine shot, but where's the extra dynamic range coming into play?

Holy poo poo, I got to see Saturn from Cincinnati's Observatory tonight, was clear as day....got some contacts to talk to about taking photos through their telescopes, one of which might be the oldest in America apparently...

I'm pretty stoked, if I can take a picture of Saturn the way I saw it tonight I'll be so happy, even though there are a million already...

I was biking around Brooklyn when I rode past these warehouse doors on the dockfront. The light spilling out looked serene, so I couldn't resist grabbing a shot.

This is some shot!

I may well have already posted it in here - I can't remember - but in this vein here is some lightning I captured last year during the early days of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption (the sub-glacial phase). Click to enlarge.







I took a bunch more (actually a full time-lapse) but these are probably the best.

My God, the tools that brought us here are utterly inadequate.
Figured I'd post these here since they're relatively long exposure and don't really fit into the landscape thread. We've had some pretty intense storms here just about every day this week, which has lead to lots of time spent in the parking deck downtown chasing the dragon.






This was my first time being successful at actually getting good lightning shots, now I am jonesing for more night time storms.

I'm loving the Dorkroom as a whole- You folks are great and I've gained some valuable insight being a wallflower in your discussions. I've lurked for about a month now and decided it's time to contribute:


Bargate, Southampton by chaussée, on Flickr

ISO 200; f/16; 4 seconds. I am fairly pleased with the exposure but I was working with a poo poo tripod so I don't think the horizon is exactly level.

39 perfect posts with each roll.

Got my tripod figured out and found something that I could focus in on at infinity from my backyard at night, so I tried some star shots tonight.

Sadly those clouds you see were part of a storm rolling in, and it got windy enough that I couldn't get a clean exposure. Of course the last shot I took, right before I realized it was too windy picked up a meteor, but the whole thing wound up a blurry mess.

Figured a lot about what worked and what didn't with my camera though, so was worth all the mosquito bites.
