Milky Way

[bholliman]

Photo taken at Edeowie Station, Flinders Ranges, South Australia.
Canon 5D Mk iii, 49sec @ F4, Canon 16-34 F4 L IS USM @ 16mm

Great shot gbeinke, the milky way really shows up well over the station.

I live in Colorado Springs and usually it is way too bright here with the light pollution to capture the Milky Way. Once in a while we do get some inversion clouds and the low clouds block the light pollution and therefore making some night photography possible.

WOW! I really like the cloud "motion". Well done!

Took the new Sigma 14mm f1.8 ART and 5DS out for a test last night.
Exposure of 13 sec., f1.8, ISO 3200
Fast, sharp, with a slight after taste of coma.

@ KeithBreazeal, gbeinke and mdmphoto,

Great shots, guys.

Sigma 14mm f1.8 Art lens: One side effect of being able to shoot faster shutter speeds to reduce star trails is you have less time to light paint. It drove me a bit crazy trying to get a different method ironed out.

I really like this one! How low were you able to drop you ISO?

Thanks I went down to 2000 but stars trails were getting too long at 20 seconds. 13 seconds was getting much better detail.

Beautiful shot, Keith.

Great shot Keith. How is the Coma performance on that lens? I don't do any astro photography, so I can't really say how this compares to others on the market. From my perspective it looks pretty good to me, but like I said, I'm not one to say.

It has coma, but it's a tradeoff for sharpness, speed, and low distortion.
