Astrohphotography with the 400mm
On Saturday night the weather was very unusual for a winters evening, no dew and cloud free. As the moon was not going to rise until well after 2 in the morning I thought it would be a good time to do some more astro work with my 400mm set up. here are a few results for the night..

Hey Shane, these look stellar
  Are these with some sort of tracking setup or just 30 sec exposures on highish ISOs?
Re: Astrohphotography with the 400mm
Shane? It is Tony
These are tracked images stacks of 4 min subs around 30 minutes each... Canon

It's easy to be good... when there is nothing else to do
Re: Astrohphotography with the 400mm
Can you spot these with the naked eye so that you can aim your camera or do you have to use a telescope or something.

For those interested in astrophotography, but lacking the skills (like me) to know their Al Reschia from their Equuleus, I was shown a fantastic app the other day:
http://www.google.com/mobile/skymap/ Load it up, point your phone into the sky and it'll show you where the planets, stars, constellations etc. Seems reasonably accurate with my somewhat limited ability to check it. Try it out, it's pretty damn amazing! 2x D700, 2x D2h, lenses, speedlights, studio, pelican cases, tripods, monopods, patridges, pear trees etc etc
