Sep 6th Spica, Venus, Jupiter, and the Moon...

[netwolf]

Finaly got clear skies and took some shots of the question mark hanging in our skies. Taken about 7:22pm Sep6th with Fujifinepix S7000 on a Optex Tripod. Not very steady hands. I need to buy one of those cable click thingy's...

Thankd and Regards

Your 2nd shot looks great. Managed to pick up Spica as well. I just missed framing it. Nice Earth shine too. :D L.

You can always try the 2 second time delay mode by pressing button in the middle of the arrow keys and put on 2sec time delay
works a treat

Thanks all for your kind comments. I was frustrated with the cloudy skies and the Hayfever did not help.. Astroman I will try the timer, thats a good idea. I am also keen on trying the feature that allows multiple shots in quick succession. I wonder if stacking those would help..

Nice photo netwolf, I made my own cable click thingy works like a treat.

Well done Wolfie!

What's wrong with kodak Houghy?

Nice shots Wolfie, I didn't manage any better even with a 20D and a clicky thing....

I have an air powered cable release that goes out over 6m, perfect for storms where I want to isolate myself from the camera. Works great for Astropics too... I got it from a photographic place for $15 the brand new ones are this much, but WAY shorter.

I still havent got one for my 350D using my finger only seems to work fine so far? amazingly - try doing that with a film camera!
