RE: SteemStarGazing thread: Upvotes for your week-end star photos of Ursa Major, Taurus, or the Southern Cross

in #photography6 years ago

Here are some back-yard photos of Ursa Major and Taurus on the night of Jan 26. Photos were taken with a Nikon Coolpix B500 camera in "star trail" mode. Click on the photos for a better view.

Ursa Major (the Big Dipper)

This was facing east, and the lower part of the sky is fairly bright because of a light dome from Philadelphia and suburbs in the "Main Line" area.

Taurus

This one was facing west, so the sky was a bit darker. Taurus is in the center, emerging from the trees. Also in photo are Orion (lower-left) and Auriga (top-center/right-ish). The picture was facing to the west, so the sky is darker (though still not particularly dark).
