Antares Launch Attempt : NASA Wallops
Posted in 5DMII, Long exposures, sky, Wallops Island on October 28, 2014 by budbranchMonday’s launch attempt was scrubbed at the last minute due to a sailboat in the safety range area. This first photo (5sec exposure) includes the International Space Station passing over the launch pad, minutes after the scrub – no accident, as orbital geometry and physics demand that Antares’ launch is perfectly coordinated with the ISS orbit.
Partial Solar Eclipse
Posted in 5DMII, Astrophotography on October 24, 2014 by budbranchThis was shot off a tripod at 200mm, with a 10-stop neutral-density filter taped on. Live-View for focus, 10sec self timer. 1/8,000 f/11 ISO 100.
Sunspots are obvious, and a Blue Ridge cloud made an appearance.

This Weekend, In Taos
Posted in 5DMII, Astrophotography, Long exposures on August 30, 2014 by budbranchI made this 15 second exposure shooting straight up off Julie’s picnic table (since I didn’t pack a tripod). The clouds are lit by nearby Taos. And of course, that’s the Milky Way beyond. Way beyond.
