Equipment

Canon EOS40D+f/2.2,50mm, ISO1600, on tripod inside house

Description

Shadows of snow meter and trees on snow are visible in light of Venus ! I took 2x30sec for lowest photo and 1x30 for upper photos each in composite. Exceptionally clear sky and good dark countryside sky made this possible. Other two tries unsucceeded. I was ill so I had to take photos inside house through window.

Our location (our backyard) is about 120 miles north of the "Cape". A fabulous show! The shuttle and the separated SRBs were clearly seen and followed with the naked eye until they "hit" the tree line. The kids and I could not believe the view!

Equipment

Canon EOS 400 D at 800 ISO with Sigma 18-125mm lens set a f/4.5, guided manually for 127sec. A photo-flash was used to illuminated the foreground.

Description

With this photograph I wanted to express what makes us star- gazers tick. A clear dark night, away from the lights of civilisation. Our home galaxy spread out over almost all of our night sky. One of the eternal wonders we may experience and yes, we are even able to photograph it ! Of course, my friend Reinhold Kammhuber who posed for the shot, prefers to have less light around his observing place, but for this picture he made an exception to the rule.
