23 sept 2005 - moon and pleades

well I wasn't feeling to crash hot last night so all I got were these morsels and not the whole lot. Sorry.

It was the most difficult item to photograph, the moon just blotted out the whole sky with moonshine. I had to look hard to see the Pleades.

Anyway I know they are not the best, unguided and just had a guess with the bulb setting..............

(edit) forgot to mention that this was taken on a hanamex video tripod, with my little trusty Pentax *istDS with the 50-500 Sigma APO telephoto lens and a 2 times teleconverter on a manual bulb setting with double overhead cam foxtails, well not really
