During the aurora, I captured the international space station passing through the Big Dipper with the reddish pink aurora. Didn’t think I was able to see the aurora from this far south. I only went outside to capture the ISS. The aurora was a surprise… The additional photo is of the Big Dipper...

Even with a full moon, M42 still got GOT! I used a TeleVu 12mm Nagler this time & it's a much better eyepiece. 30” exposure on iPhone 15 pro max. Celestron C5

Hello all… yeah it’s been a while since I’ve been here on this forum. Not much going on in the world of photography or astronomy for me lately. Been busy with work and life as well. Anyway, I purchased a Celestron 5-inch from Amazon so I could use it on my Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer as the OTA...

Back in 2012 I went on vacation and traveled to Big Bend national park. This is a really dark location even in 2023. I had a Nikon D800 and the AstroTrac star tracker. I was comfortable using it and decided to see what I could get with and older mint condition Nikon 500mm f/8 reflex mirror lens...

I purchased another Tamron SP 500mm f/8 mirror lens off eBay since it was mint, $150. Great price. The lens is fantastic and really sharp. I bought it for astrophotography with my Sony A7RV and Skywatcher Star adventurer 2i tracker. This is a 30” exposure, ISO 100. Edited in Lightroom mobile on...

I have seen excellent work from many of you guys here. I don’t have the equipment required for multiple hours of imaging, I only can take single exposures, which works very well for me, to get some great shots. I don’t think I’ve shared any of my astrophotography here before, so I’ve included...

Hello all. I just purchased a new Sony A7R V 61mp camera along with the Sony 50mm f/1.2 GM lens. It’s a huge upgrade from the A7R III I had. I love the new 50mm f/1.2, it’s crazy sharp. The closeup is a crop from the full image which was shot at f/2.8. The lens is just as sharp wide open, it’s a...

A portrait of my brothers Husky. A single 8x10” led light panel was used for the lighting camera left. Image converted to B&W but the eye was left untouched, a heavy crop of the eye was added to show the detail of the original image. comments welcomed Todd iPhone 14 pro max 48mp ProRAW format...

Hi everyone… I haven’t posted on this forum in quite a while but I hope to return soon. I have been using my iPhone 14 pro max a lot lately and I recently acquired the BeastCage from Beastgrip along with their 1.7x telephoto lens. The lens gives me about 40mm equivalent on 35mm format. I took...

Hello everyone, I currently have the iPhone 12 Pro Max and 12 pro and I did a comparison of the two Shooting the Milky Way. The 12 pro max has a 47% larger sensor than the 12 pro. Therefore the 12 pro max will do better in low light. I took a 30” exposure using both iPhones and I tracked the...

Been a while since I’ve visited or posted… life gets in the way. I haven’t been shooting much, mostly working and doing things around the house. Last night I stepped out and looked at the sky conditions, they weren’t too bad considering the amount of rain we’ve been getting. I was able to see...

These were taken in 2015/16 and I used a Nikon D800 and D810. The belt and sword were taken with a Nikon 300mm f/2.8 guided on an AstroTrac, single exposure, 180 seconds exposure time. No flats or darks, just a single shot at ISO 800. the horse head was also a single image (I don’t like to...

Photos of Brenden. I used my iPhone 12 Pro Max for these and Apple ProRAW. Lightroom and Focos app to edit. I took the main session with my Sony A7RIII and studio flash... no flash on these though, just available light.

iPhone 12 Pro Max does the night sky. Apple ProRAW and night mode. There is some star trailing during this 30” exposure, but Next time I will have my tracker. I’m quite impressed with what the iPhone did here. Processed in Lightroom mobile. A couple of different edits to see what works best. ISO...

Hey everyone. I hope all is well. I’m working on coming back or participating more here. I’ve had nothing exciting to photograph lately, Beaumont isn’t really a picturesque place. The Sony equipment is put away for now, the iPhone 12 Pro Max and Apple ProRAW is what I’m using at the moment...

Hi all, These are leaf springs on an army vehicle between the tires. iPhone 12 Pro Max & Apple ProRAW Lightroom mobile I’ll make an effort to return to this site more often and participate with you fine folks. Todd

Hi all, Jim sent me an email to check on me. I’ve been doing well, I just haven’t had any photo work lately. I guess Covid has everything all jacked up. So, I’ve been using my iPhone 12 Pro Max and Apple ProRAW for almost everything lately. I love what the new iPhone can do now. The photo...

Hi all. I’ve been focusing on head shot portrait photography lately to add a new style to my portfolio. I used my Sony A7rIII and Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art for these. Also used the Sony remote trigger to fire two of the Sony flashes, one in a 36” softbox (camera right), the other in a small 12”...
