Title: On the rooftop (Orion and Taurus)
Post by: Kenny on Jan 09, 2015, 00:18:06
I climbed out a tiny window onto my rooftop to grab a photo of Orion that didn't include the bright white LED streetlights on the other side of my house. Caught the V of Taurus too. Unfortunately, there was high altitutde cloud (the main overcast cloud followed about 10 minutes later) so Comet Lovejoy doesn't appear on this sub.

Edited in LightZone to try and bring the foreground back in. This is one of many shots I took in RAW format at various ISO and exposure settings. Canon 450D. 13 seconds at 18mm, f/6.3, ISO600.
