Trifid Nebula!

Hello, Stargazers!

I've been getting so overwhelmed during my photography sessions, wanting to see and photograph so many celestial objects… that I finally got smart and started focusing  on just one objects during each  observing  and imaging session.  Here's my first attempt at the Triffid Nebula!  It is just eight images and a few dark frames stacked together .  My scope is not tracking well so the rest of the 60 shots I took did not turn out because there was a star trailing. I did a little bit of tweaking in Photoshop but not very much. I used a modified Canon 450 D.  Hope you enjoy the image!

Until next time,

The beauty of print film

Hello, everyone!

I finally got my film processed from the meteor shower this summer, when I was out on the Columbia Gorge.  I did not catch a meteor in this photograph, but I like the tree in the foreground. The orange sky is a result of a big forest fire we did not know was going on just north of us on Mount Adams. I hope you enjoy!
