The Moon (With the new lens)
Wednesday, April 5th, 2006
I had to try out another shot of the Moon with my new 70-200 f/2.8L, the difference between the quality from that and my old 75-300 was remarkable. The shot was cropped in order to show more detail.
Exif:

Milky Way Overhead
Tuesday, February 21st, 2006
The Milky Way overhead at the cottage in the early fall. Similar to the other recent astrophotography posts I’ve done, the camera was piggy backing on a telescope on an equatorial mount and using a sidereal drive so that the picture frame follows the stars and no star trails are formed.
