Congratulations to Jeff for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 7 votes - View Previous Winners
Haven't been home lately and thus haven't had much chance to peruse the forums, let alone post anything. Below are a few from my last two trips, been sticking to Colorado these summer months. Got to see some cool stuff after dark recently, including a fireball meteor visible throughout much of Colorado. Fourth image down was taken during a major airglow event on June 21, the structure and intensity of which was influenced by two supercell thunderstorms in Denver and Colorado Springs (one of which injured all those people at Red Rocks Amphitheater). The last image is a little-known phenomenon of the Starlink satellite constellation, that is, that they 'flare' is they approach their most-northerly transits of their orbits, 6-12° above the sun in the north. Pretty cool to see, though I know lots of people harbor much consternation over the 'changing of the night sky'.
All images shot with Canon 5Ds/R5 and Sigma Art lenses, most are panoramas, most star images tracked.
Anyway, hope y'all enjoy...

Killer shots...Very nice work and stunning pictures.

Just ordered a new Epilog Fusion Pro Co2/Fiber laser from Golden Colorado last week, can't wait to get it going.

That's funny, I know right where they are (we used to run crit laps around that office park, and I did a bunch of product work for CoorsTek a few years ago, which has a majority of that area since they moved their R&D out of downtown Golden). What do you use the laser for?

Wonderful set! Thanks for sharing large gorgeous versions to enjoy.
You're welcome! Guess I should have checked that, awhile back I changed my default output size since I last posted here. Is 1000x still the suggested max at FM?

...Laser etching parts we make and open the door to more business and in-house work.
A lot of parts we make have to have the part number and revision on them, this will be nice for that instead of the ole ink bottle, stamper and pad. Laser etching Delrin will be great as well. Did ya know you can laser etch pumpkin pies, pumpkins, christmas cookies and popcorn kernels ?!?!?!?!
We already have a 4k Co2 Laser and a 3k Fiber Laser as well.
Thanks! The R5 is a great camera for low light, get out and do it! another_mikey wrote:
Really wonderful set, lovely work. I gotta get out and do some nightscape with my R5 too after seeing these inspirational results!
