Pics from Central Coast weekend

Here's some pics taken on Saturday night with my Sony DSCP100.

All pics had curves adjust in photoshop and noise filtered in NeatImage.


Ed's scope and the carina region, while Ed moved his scope :D

I was wondering how those photos came out, good one Mike. I always like those shots of the telescope poking out under the stars.

Nice shots Mike. The Milky Way shows up really nice and the composition with the scope in the foreground is very good. What sort of exposures and iso levels did you use?

Thanks Paul.

They were taken at ISO400, 15s exposure, f/2.6. Curves adjust and NeatImage were the only processing.
