Great shot Pierre!

I am very impressed with the images of Comet Neowise that several of you have been getting. I have been thwarted the times I have run out to try to get an image. Even on supposed "clear" nights, there has been enough low clouds that I have not yet seen it.

Instead, I took the M6II and 500 mm plus TCs and aimed it at Jupiter and Saturn to see what I could capture and got the second two. The first was actually from earlier in the year with less humidity in the sky so I actually got some bands on Jupiter.


+1.4x TC, 700 mm, 1/160th, f/5.6, ISO 100

This was actually my first attempt the other night, 2x TC, 1000 mm, 0.5 sec, f/8, ISO 12,800. I tried to dial it in from there, but actually liked this over exposure.

2x tc, 1000 mm, 1/50, f/8, ISO 1600

Not winning any awards, but I am still impressed what a birding set up was able to accomplish.

Thanks for viewing--Brant

Wow!!! Blown away that you can see the bands and rings without a telescope. These are cool.


I was able to capture Neowise, but nothing spectacular. When I finally spotted it (barely visible just after 10PM), I wasn't in a a position to include an interesting foreground.

I found focusing incredibly difficult. For astro images I normally zoom in to 10x and adjust focus until the stars are tack sharp, but because the sky around Neowise wasn't completely dark, and nothing was visible in the viewfinder I was basically guessing.

In hindsight I would have shot wider. I took this with my 70-200mm thinking that a compressed image would be better, but it still would have been impressive and easier to shoot with less magnification.

Thanks! Great shot of Neowise!

Messing around with my new EF M adapter. I have to say that I'm fairly impressed. Using the LCD is little tricky at the equivalent of 640mm, but not as bad as I was fearing. I am definitely enjoying the added "reach". Noise isn't too bad either. This one was shot at ISO 1600.

75 degrees and sunny on Wednesday. Snuck away for a quick kayak trip to Hopkinton Pond. The battery died on my M6 II, so I only have a couple of shots from the kayak....but we got off the water just in time for sunset.

Trying to catch up on processing shots from earlier this year. Spent some time with a couple caribou in late spring (during covid lockdown) just a short walk from my house.
