Larry, thanks for the "tutorial". I will be getting my Astrotracer next

geso a few astropanos

2020-07-25 Thread Larry Colen
I've been going through my backlog of photos.  Staying up until 4 or 5 taking 
photos can disrupt my schedule on the following days.

This gallery is pretty much a scratchpad of astro panoramas I took over the 
past couple of nights.  A lot of them are just experiment with different lenses 
or settings.  It's hard to get final editing done on the laptop, even so I 
think I'll get a couple of keepers out of the set

ISO invariance asto experiment

2020-07-25 Thread Larry Colen
Last night after Neowise sank into the haze I spent some time playing with 
astrolandscapes on Mary's Peak (west of Corvallis).

I did an experiment with the sigma 35/1.4 on the K-3ii aimed at an interesting 
part of the milky way, astrotracer at 10 seconds, f/1.4, slow shutter NR 
(darkfield subtraction), bracketed ISO 400-12800, plus I tried a couple of HDRs 
in LR6.  Nominal exposure was at ISO6400, the rest were compensated to match, 
other than that everything was processed the same.  

Using the fluidr page to make it easier to compare:
https://www.fluidr.com/photos/ellarsee/sets/72157715235343631

My takeaways from this are:
close up shots of the milkyway without any other sky for context just look messy
The sensor is impressively ISO invariant, at least when it comes to astro 
photography
I really need to get some good stacking software that runs on my macs

That's a side effect of the detail that it costs a lot more to make something 
so that it can be repaired, and even more to supoort a repair channel with 
spare parts. So if they made things so that they can be repaired, they would 
have to charge twice as much, and most people just look at the initial cost 
when they buy something.  That is exacerbated by the fact that with electronics 
if something lasts five years, the new tech will cost half as much for twice 
the performance.

If my 18-250 just needs an adjustment, by the time everything is set up and 
torn down that's probably close to an hour of technician time, not to mention 
shipping/receiving, and other paperwork, and to make money a business needs to 
charge at least $200/hour for professional time.  For $200 I could get a good 
used newer generation of the same model at KEH.

Not having a fakebook account, I can't see what time he took the photo, but he 
posted it at 2:29 AM on the 22nd ... which suggests slightly after sunset on the 
21st and according to the Photographers Ephemeris, he would have had a 2.94% 
Crescent Moon +8.67° above the horizon at 7:43 pm (19:43) local time.


The sun would have been -8.34° below the horizon.

I think it's Photoshop too, but it could have been done in camera with a high 
enough ISO & the star trails look like a fairly long exposure.

photoshop spotted! The light on the turtle comes from the back. Looks like
a wide angle shot which renders the comet smaller as it is now. And the
sunset is too bright for stars to appear in the red. Not to mention the
comet as bright as a setting sun.

Nice image nevertheless


Yep. Photoshop composite.

Re: Shutter problem

2020-07-25 Thread John

The screen is too small for me to read it on the phone.

I'm pretty sure I have the PDF on my laptop, but the paper manual fits inside 
the camera bag, so I *always* have it handy. And I'm pretty sure the K-1 paper 
manual is the complete manual.

Fumbling with the camera in the dark I'd pressed the wrong button. I never

After I purchased my K-70 I discovered that the printed manual that was shipped 
with the camera is only a subset of the PDF manual. I now have the latter on my 
smartphone and it has saved my bacon on many occasions.
