TSS Photo of the Day

Milky Way reprocess, lockdown boredom.

#1

Post by KingClinton »

As the title suggests, I am under lockdown and decided to have another go at a image I took from a dark sky site back in 2017.
I do not recall all the exact details but this basically the DSLR on a tripod pointed straight up at the time.
The really bright "star" at the bottom and slightly left is Saturn.

Eyeballs, binoculars, sketch box, Scopes n stuff.

I find the trick is to use as stable a chair as you have, then when standing on your head in it and viewing the image on your screen, it all looks right!
After a while the whole upside down thing seems natural. :D
