Subject: [APML] Antares this year


Hello,
since it is now too late to take more shots of the Antares region, I
have stacked all the images I gathered during this summer (with some
from last year also). So it's a 15 shots composite. Each exposure was
between 15 and 30 minutes long using a 135mm f/4 lens. The total
exposure time is nearly 6 hours. Of course it was not done on the same
night, it was not even done from the same place and I even used 2 lenses
and 2 camera bodies to get as many shots as I could. since I live at a
latitude of 44° N, Antares never gets higher than about 20°, so I have
to shoot it when it is highest which doesn't leave too much time each
night.

I really love this region of the sky, so next year I will reshoot it
with another focal length (maybe with a 400mm lens or at prime focus
920mm of fl)

Clear skies,
Eric
