  1. Capturing a "deep" Image of winter's Orion constellation is a challenge for me. My winter weather is terrible. My access to proper dark sky in winter is impractical. But it's been an objective for many years!

    Thankfully, Orion is accessible in Fall, if you stay up late enough. In September I set up a tracker mount w/DSLR just as Orion was rising (~1:30am) . Captured 50 2min images after clearing the horizon (while I slept!).

  6. Playing around with some images captured on a clear dark night late September. One is a single 2-minute tracked image looking over some treetops in #TerraNovaNP #DarkSkyPreserve.

    The other is a stack of 20 of these tracked images (with the tree tops cropped out). Can "push" the processing a lot more with the stack.

    Canon 6D (modified), 35mm lens, iso3200 f/2.5

    Single image mostly processed in #darktable. Stack mostly in #PixInsight

  11. Always trying to improve my processing skills (because there is always lot of room to improve πŸ€ͺ). Took another stab at this one from August during a Dark Sky #RASC astronomy event at #TerraNovaNP.

    Single 25sec image 12800iso 14mm f2.5

    Getting a better hang of free/open-source #darktable which has been a great replacement for Lightroom. Final tweaks in Pix Insight.

  16. Had a second camera and less-wide lens (35mm vs 14mm) while at Sandy Cove beach in September. Made for a better close-up of the #MilkyWay.

    It is outside the #TerraNovaNP #DarkSkyPreseve, and near a small village, but still decently dark @ Bortle 3.

    I also recorded some audio. It was quiet with no wind. Just a gentle lapping of some small waves. Had the whole beach to myself (and the dog!). Serene.

  21. I sometimes try to capture #NightScape scenes in #TerraNovaNP campground (Newman Sound) that folks might find recognizable. And perhaps the park might find useful for promotional purposes.

    Pretty happy with how this one turned out. Even captured some #Airglow.

    This was captured later in September. Might not have been possible earlier in the season as the park still has work to do addressing #LightPollution generated by "uninformed" campers.

  26. The #MilkyWay over a small brook. Captured during late September's new-moon phase.

    Didn't turn out quite the way I hoped (dim foreground). It was so dark nestled between high trees. But it sure was peaceful there.

  31. Working on improving my #MilkyWay processing. And learning the ins and outs of #darktable. Still lots to learn on both fronts!

    This shot from Sandy Pond 23rd August at #ParksCanada #TerraNovaNP - a #DarkSkyPreserve

    Skies were pretty dark but some #LightPollution is visible over the distant hill, from a small town outside the park.

  36. A good night at my "local" National Park - Terra Nova. The clouds (mostly) cooperated for some public outreach with telescopes as well as eyeball-only star and #MilkyWay gazing.

    We were visited pond side by a young moose who wasn't too bothered at all by the crowds!

  41. Another glorious clear and dark night sky at #TerraNovaNP #DarkSkyPreserve on Wednesday. The park still has work to do addressing #LightPollution within the #campground, but I managed to find some shadows to capture these images from.

    Second image is looking up at Cygnus, the #MilkyWay and some red nebulae. Captured with a 50mm lens and the venerable Canon 6D (modified).
