Obviously this is a great one. The whole time I was thinking...if I could just do a 10"+ exposure it would be great. hahaha
Thanks for sharing!

Hello, Jose.

Best wishes to you, as well. Wonderful image. Makes me wish I had gotten my butt out of bed.

Cheers,
Ed

!!

Amazing picture Jose, and fantastic setups you have. I'd love to get into astrophotography and have something like that, but alas I'm only a college student and have nowhere near the funds needed to do this (was barely able to afford my 7D that I bought this spring haha).

Good to see you posting again Jose. Amazing how a 13 second exposure of the moon could remain so crisp. Did you use any panning gear? Lovely image BTW.


Thanks Tim. I've had very little free time lately and haven't been shooting much. Yes, I did use a tracking mount, you can see the setup on the previous page.

Thanks again!

Jose

In-freaking-credible Jose! Man, just fantastic.

It's been a long time since I browsed the landscape forum here, and even longer since I've seen your amazing work. You might be proud to know that I saw your pic linked on a car forum where I moderate the photography section... the guys there were similarly impressed.

I need to swing by and catch up with you some time! I hope all is well, and Merry Christmas

Absolutely incredible! My jaw is now trying to recover from dropping to the floor twice.......first on seeing the photo, second time was seeing the setup! I imagine the old saying applies, "If you have to ask how much it costs, you probably can't afford it."

Seriously.....just to keep me from actually considering something like that, may I ask what that setup costs?

Thank you so much for sharing this amazing picture.

Thanks so much Chip. The cost is very high, in the many thousands - one astro camera is $8~9k and you can't even look through it . A set of filters - $850 and that's for RGB only - H-alpha and narrow band is more and we always use these. It's not only the hardware, but also the software, computers etc. The telescopes are driven remotely from my home office. That entails a main comp and a laptop by the telescopes.

But, the time to learn the craft is in my opinion the most expensive part. Hundreds of hours reading and hundreds of hours experimenting. You have to love it!

Thanks again!

Best,

Jose
