30 seconds at an all girl party.

[RB]

As you know Venus joined the girls (Seven Sisters) for a party last night.
A beautiful sight to see Venus amongst The Pleiades, so I set up my scope from early hoping to get some shots.

Well the party didn't last too long, clouds rolled in and spoiled it all just as I was starting. :sadeyes:
Anyway I managed to get 30 seconds worth of data. :lol:

This was the result, taken through the TOA 130 (handheld :P) using the 5D MkII at ISO 3200 and stacking 30 x 1 sec frames.

I've also included a labeled version.

Oh well at least it was fun setting up the gear again. :rolleyes:

Thanks for looking.
Andrew

[mental4astro]

[Dennis]

Top shot RB, you haven't lost your touch!

[Clayton]

Very nice :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[RB]

Yeah Deeno I almost forgot how it all fits together, haven't used my gear in ages.



:rofl: Alexander, Cheers mate !!!



Many thanks Liz.



I know, I actually setup and used my gear for 30 seconds !
:lol:



Glad you liked it Roger, yep I agree, that subtle blue looks good.



Thanks Bart, although it was tongue in cheek, I had the scope on a mount, I have a hard enough time putting the 5" refractor in the Tak rings, let alone handholding it for a shot. :help:



Many thanks Dennis

[RB]

[spacezebra]

[Octane]

That's a beautiful presentation. :)

The stars are like jewels offset against the silky smooth background sky.

Nothing but clouds here. Again.
