Description

On the night of the Leonids (last outburst), I was out trying to catch a shhoting star. It wasn't successful, but the place where I was was so nice, along the Odet river. Due to the absence of wind, the water surface was really smooth: a perfect mirror for the narcissistic Orion and its Great Dog. A nice animation is available from this page: http://photoastronomique.net/photo_us.php?nom=061119_4206

Barndoor guider hand driven. Canon Rebel XT w/ Tamron 28-80 mm zoom lens at 48 mm.

Description

A 3 minute exposure @ f/4.5,ISO 400. I use an IC Digital recorder with a voice track as a timer. This allows me to enjoy the sky while rotating the drive screw on the Barndoor guider. Conditions were perfect: cool with no wind and great transparency.
