Hi Alex,


Sorry I took so long, but here it is.

You can see that 1) there is quite a lot of noise 2) the tracking isn't perfect, the stars are a little elongated even after only 2 minutes and 3) the seeing wasn't great, so everything is a little blurry.


Last night I took an autoguided 12 minute exposure which came out a little better. I also tried a 40 minute autoguided exposure, but I accidentally unplugged my computer at the start of the exposure and the thing died in the middle. Very frustrating. I'll probably try again tomorrow.

Hi Jon,





Thanks. Awaiting for auto-guided version.


As far as the noise concerned, I will be not surprised to hear in 5-10 years this is not just a noise, but relict radiation or something like that.

Great stuff Mark...

[Jon Ruyle]

Very nice, Mark. I've seen (and taken) a lot of baby pictures, but those are great. Cute baby, too


I assume those were taken with your 5DII. What focal length, aperture, lens, etc?

This is the same setup I used to take the pictures of my own son from earlier in this thread. I used a 24'' Lastolite EZBox (highand camera right)for that though.

That is some great work Mark. That little guy was sure happy you were taking his picture![]
