I was on a bridge and the birds were flying under, over a river at a distance of 8-12 meters
Looking at the pictures on the PC I realized that 1/3200 sec was not enough for these captures :o


I'm guessing you're panning too Nasos?

My daughter has decided that she likes baseball.

Focus, intent and preparation.
(and that's just your daughter.!)

Lovely Ian

More pictures in the 'Show us your best moon (and solar system) images' thread.

I almost missed the warning from the local astronomy society which arrived when I was going to bed. For once, the sky was clear so I put my clothes back on and went out :)

D750 14-24/2.8 at f4 and ISO3200. Quick conversion to sort the files. Now I need to find the right way to denoise the files ...

Thanks, Akira, it is unfortunately no dark here any longer - it changes so quickly at this time of the year. If it was not for the cloud cover, I would check anyway to see if it was strong enough to overcome the twilight if I am still awake at the darkest time at closer to 2am...

Hey, Øivind, the moment I learned about the extreme solar flares, I was sure that you were going to post the image of "the source"!

Unfortunately, I don't live in the altitude where the aurora can be observed.

I wish you or any NG members would post some images of aurora!

Watch for more aurora tonight if you live at latitudes where it still gets dark! There are already plenty of reports from "Lower 48" in the US, https://www.spaceweather.com/archive.php?view=1&day=11&month=05&year=2024 and I now notice it already got all over the news. The source of the the strong CMEs is the behemoth of an active region, AR3664 to the lower right, which is visible just with the aid of solar protection glasses. Seeing was pretty mediocre and did not inspire use of stacking at higher magnification. I am still working on assembling the Baader astrosolar film filter for the 500PF, so I just used it with TC-14E III and step-down rings to use my existing similar 77mm filter on D500 to get a shot before AR3664 rotates out of view. I hoped for better seeing later today but clouds came in so I will have to do with this. (Open in new tab to display larger.)

I am not sure I have ever seen an aurora forecast as hot as the one shown below.
