Last weekend a few astronomers came up for the weekend from Brisbane.
The Friday was average,the Saturday was great,the Sunday was, unfortunatly a cloud out.
Here is a few photos of some of the group setting up their gear,with the country side in the back ground.David managed to capture some fine images with his Tak and modded camera.
I put my new 50D and 17-55 f 2.8 lens on top of one of the scopes,and did one 6 and a half minute exp of Scopious region.I was planning to take some better photos on the Sunday-without the telescope sticking out into the photo.But as usual got clouded out.I hope someone has a look at the Scorpiouis photo and leaves a comment,This is the first time I used this camera for any sort of astro work
You certainly live in a great spot!!
