Wow Taras You're living my dream, Astrophotography! This is obviously motor driven, do you have a telescope? Thanks for your comment on my moon shot.

Very nice shot of the Sagittarius Milky Way Taras! You got lots of dust lanes and some nice DSOs. Well done!! I'm starting to miss observing under a good dark sky - weather hasn't been too good these days for astro.

Pat,
For dark backgrounds one needs to stay away from the Milky Way. All that interstellar dust and the unresolved stars differentiate it from the background sky.

I get your point.. But I just like black blacks... I don't know why but to me this looks milky. I know it is more acurate than what I would do with it.

Barry,
Last weekend, I expect the dark part of the night was from about 10:30 pm to 3:15 am EDT. It's all a function of latitude. I do most of my shooting 75 miles northwest of the city, which is still much further south than all of England. At least the Milky Way is still visible from that location, though not as well as, say, thirty years ago. I think there are at minimum 5-6 hours of true darkness near the solstice.

Very well taken. How light are the nights in New York at this time of year? It's too light here for the next month or so but I'm looking forward to seeing Sagittarius again in August.

Morgan,
The camera was mounted piggyback on a polar-aligned telescope which was used for tracking the sky, and a reticle eyepiece was used to confirm the tracking, and to correct for errors in tracking.

Good presentation Taras? your image reminded me of part of the intro by Annie Dillard?s The Wreck of Time - taking our century's measure ? published in Harper?s in january 1998?
Here?s the passage?
?Ten years ago we thought there were two galaxies for each of us alive. Lately, since we loosed the Hubble Space Telescope, we have revised our figures. There are nine galaxies for each of us. Each galaxy harbors an average of 100 billion suns. In our galaxy, the Milky Way, there are sixty-nine suns for each person alive. The Hubble shows, says a report, that the universe "is at least 15 billion years old." Two galaxies, nine galaxies... sixty-nine suns, 100 billion suns?
These astronomers are nickel-and-diming us to death.?

Holy CARP! Excellent astro pic! What enabled you to prevent the stars, etc from blurring?
