PhotographerJim RoselliLocationHillsborough, NJ 08844DateAug 13, 2011 11:35pmEquipmentNikon D700, ISO 800,14-24mm LensDescriptionI setup my Nikon D700 DSLR with a F2.8 14-24mm on the tripod. Set the ISO to 800 and the focal length to 15mm and took a few test shots. 15-second exposures gave me a reasonably saturated star without too much sky glow. In summary, if I had kept the shutter open for 25 minutes with a Full Moon at ISO 800, there would be nothing but a white frame to look at. By using 100 fifteen-second exposures and statistically stacking them, I was able to achieve the familiar star trail image familiar to all. Let me not forget the "1" Perseid fireball... |

The piece of the nebula shown top center is the dark, dense globule IC 1396A; it is commonly called the Elephant's Trunk nebula because of its appearance at visible light wavelengths, where there is a dark patch with a bright, sinuous rim. This bi-color image represents three hours of exposure in Ha and Olll. |
