Good color on those - I'd love to be there at that house when all those flowers are blooming.
Maybe I can get there when it quits raining.Good color on those - I'd love to be there at that house when all those flowers are blooming.
How about DX with my brother's Sigma Sport 150-600?The next two nights, Jupiter and Venus are in conjunction - check it out as the sun is going down.
This is 200mm on full-frame, so any of you DX guys should get an even better shot of the moons assuming you have at least 200mm.

It's storming and threatening to storm all night.I would be pulling that thing out tonight - I believe tonight is the closest they get.

We had a severe storm go through and between midnight and 1 it poured like crazy. Not been a good summer for outside stuff.Same here, f'ing BS.
I have one day of work then off for 3. Maybe I can get a chance. Storms forecast every day though...Last night was supposedly the closest, so I went outside and tried again.
Turning off VR when you're on a tripod can help - who woulda thunk.
I realize this isn't Hubble quality stuff, but it's exciting to think with a meager 200mm you can make out Jupiters moons!
Carlton-fritz --- could you imaging 600*1.5 ... you could probably make out some detail of Jupiter itself. Knock on wood you have good weather in the next few weeks while Jupiter is still around. ( 900 mm = 0.5 second maximum shutter speed before it streaks... that's pretty effing fast. )
