PhotographerJackson LuLocationBig Snowy mountains, TaiwanDate24.Dec.2011EquipmentMount : Skywatcher NEQ6 pro Telescope: AT RC10 Camera: SBIG ST-8300CDescriptionIn the Christmas eve, on the mountains with one of my friend took this photo at -6C temperature. I set up camera working on -20C. It's really a very special night in my life. First time taking astro-photo on Christmas eve and first time stayed at this place and first time stayed on -6C temperature whole night, first time taking NGC2359. It is so similar as Stitch who is in the Disney cartoon. Merry Christmas and happy new year. |
