Prairie image - looking through the galactic plane (Glenlea, Manitoba)

[Kanadalainen]

Strangely, these trees kind of got in my image... the only trees around in miles.

240 seconds, 800 ISO, Canon 60D, Ioptron tracker.
10mm Rokinon glass, f2.8

Thanks for looking!

The trees provide an anchor, so that we can tell you aren't shooting this from somewhere in Costa Rica...

Nice Pic...

It's a pita, but you can use the LiveView 10x on your 60D to get slightly better Focus. And you can snap a shot and Pixel-Peep on the Rear Screen Playback at Max Zoom to do even better...

Very nice, the trees make for a good composure.

Is that Jupiter, Saturn and Pluto in the image too?

Thanks, yes, I know the 10X and pixel peep tricks. Great advice!

In this case something was lost in the resolution of the host site (onedrive).

Perhaps try this snapshot. The trees are still blurred because the tracker is moving the cam.

Jupiter and Saturn are definitely there! Just to the left of the base of the Milky Way.

Where is Pluto Graeme??

[Kanadalainen]

Oh I think I see pluto, just to the left of Jupiter and down a little.
