Orion in a Puddle

While out scouting the Venus/Moon conjunction late Feb, I came across a small depression in the sand that occasionally filled when water mounted a ridge at high tide. I didn't have long to get the shot before the pool dried up.

Thanks for looking

Lovely Colin,

Was that with 1/2 speed on the tracker to keep the sky and hills in focus?

I am assuming of course that it was taken with an ioptron or vixen.

Cheers

Chris

Chris, no tracking. I think the settings were 25s, iso 6400, f/2.8, 20mm with Canon 6D + Nikon 14-24.
