Just labeled a few objects in the field of view for orientation. With fewer clouds, the site should prove very friendly to some imaging in the future. I think it's pretty, even with the under-lit clouds rolling in.

Recent wide-angle DSLR shot
Limited opportunities to image this week, for several reasons. Posting this image I took at 2130 last Saturday at a fairly dark site using my Canon 5D Mk II, and my 16-35mm f/2.8 zoom at 35mm focal length. It was a 30 second exposure using my Skywatcher AstroTracker travel mount (ISO 1600).

Comet PANSTARRS C/2011 L-4 (taken on 15 March 2013)
Just a quick post, its been a while since I've added anything.
Looking through some old files, I rediscovered an image I had taken with my Canon 5D Mark II when PANSTARRS C/2011 L-4 was at perihelion in 2013. Image was taken just after sunset, from Seaford Virginia with a 0.8 second exposure on a 50mm lens at iso 640. I like the trees in the foreground giving a bit of scale to the image.
PANSTARRS L-4 is a non-periodic comet, so no more chances to see this one.
I've been helping a friend with his observatory, so not much imaging of my own lately to share for now...
