Astro and Planetary Photography.
This blog will contain anything related to photography of celestial objects except Aurora Borealis. Aurora blogs.
I shot Saturn last night.
Reactions on specific astrophotography groups were bad news and good news. First of all... the sky wasn't clear last night. Humidity was quite high and in the few minutes I was out my tripod already got damp so I was a bit concerned about the front of my lens getting that too but it stayed clear. Anyway... highly humid air obstructs any astro related objects so this planetary shot can be done with better result. But that was not the good news I was referring to.
So... the bad news... My equipment, method and software are good for astro but totally not for planetary. Again a whole new field of photography and again a steep learning curve. The more I'm getting into this the more I realize that I have to contemplate if I really want this to the level I strive for or accept what I can get with the stuff that I've got. And who knows me, knows me... this is going to be complicated...
