PhotographerGreg WhiteleyLocationLittleton CODate6/9/08 3:13 a.m. m.d.t.EquipmentCanon 30D with Canon 70-200mm 1:2.8 l is usm bogen tripodDescriptionI had gone outside to get some fresh air and of course look at the night sky and thought to myself I'll take a few shot's of Jupiter and see what I get. I took 8 consecutive photos in each photo the blue object moves further to the left. My iso was 1600 and shutter speed was 4 sec @ f 2.8 don't have a clue as to what this is and I'm sure it's not in my camera Editors note: May be a internal reflection, or a rocket-stage fuel dump. |

PhotographerJared WillsonLocationSan Juan Bautista, CADateJune 8, 2008EquipmentVixen VC200L @ f/9, SBIG STL-11000M, Astro-Physics Mach1DescriptionThe Whirlpool Galaxy is the prototypical face-on, grand design spiral galaxy. Originally, it was not known whether the companion galaxy seen on the left of this image was truly interacting with M51, or whether it might have been located in the background or foreground. The spiral structure of many galaxies was first observed in this object. |

PhotographerJohn DoukoumopoulosLocationSounion capeDate18 June 2008 21:23-21:28 local (UTC+3)EquipmentWO-ZS80FD with 0.8FR/FF @f/5.6 CANON EOS300DDescriptionCamera, telescope, mount, focus, everything is set ready in position. Calculations in advance make sure that the full moon will appear by the temple any second now. Heart is beating fast. And there it is! Ohh, another beautiful full moon! The present in harmony with the past! You start shooting! Meanwhile you cannot help admiring the unique beauty of the naked nature. It is not only what you capture with your camera, mainly is what you see with your eyes and you keep in your memory. Gorgeous! But it lasts just a few moments! Afterwards, you may share your photos with your friends, so that the can also admire some of what you saw. Only static moments though. They are not able to see the whole image of the succesive passing of the rising full moon behind those ancient columns, gaining height and light at the same time. This is what I tried to share with you with this animation, which I created from 17 sequential shots to the rising full moon, by the ancient temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, the evening of June 18, 2008. |
