  1. That's avery nice shot. You have captured that well!
  2. Thanks smutly. I don't normally get to see them, but this one certainly blew me away. The color I think is down to the lens - 50mm f1.8 Carl Zeis Jena Pancolar
  3. Thanks Keiran - this morning was grey and raining for me. Yesterday probably the best sunrise for months!
  4. Why thank you! Unfortunately, for various reason, my sleep patterns are just totally shot and I happened to be semi-dozing when I noticed this orange glow. By the time I had got my camera orgainsed, I had missed the best of it! Still impressive though :)

    Excellent shot, considering :) How many subs? What length?
  9. I'm still a fan of the Hartmann. Everything quoted re its faults is no doubt true but bang for buck I like it best. Purely personal, but I have made Bahtinov's and cannot get on with them. However I AM using a 5D mk1 (no live view) and ordinary lenses exclusively, which may explain why I can't focus with one! Plus I wear glasses and my old eyes probably just can't cope!
  10. Bahtinov mask has been ordered :) In the meantime, check out the Hartmann Mask - I find it a LOT easier to use (and construct for oneself!)
  11. Nicely done! Excellent idea well executed :) CC, if I may? Might be worth trying exact same shot with a little bit of fill flash?
  12. HI Russ, thanks, but I had to get the airliner too! Only 25 sec subs, so LP doesn't show up much, but then nothing but the stars do either. I have Petersfield north, chichester east and several street lights so there is LP aplenty above 4 minutes :) As I set the camera up at 02:45 I saw one dying Perseid on the eastern horizon and absolutely nothing after that. Too late methinks!!! The milky way was very bright (for my back garden!) so I am hoping to do a 17mm tracking shot of that tonight/tomorrow if the clouds clear like they did this morning. Shame we missed TH, by all accounts it was awesome!
