Now for something completely different. With all the gems in the immediate vicinity, why would anyone want to just shoot a star? Well I used Rigel as an alignment star so thought while I was there I may as well take a piccy. So here it is, just Rigel.
SW 120mm f5 achro refractor, Pentax K-x, Baader Semi-APO filter, single 4 minute sub at ISO 400. Processed in CS5.
Maybe next time I'll shoot just Betelgeuse.
