Title: Mars and Venus setting
Post by: Kenny on Feb 10, 2015, 00:35:08
I have an intervalometer and I'm not too impatient to use it.  :lol:

Canon 450D.

"Starfall"
Timelapse of Venus and Mars setting after sunset. 14 shots from a series of 30 (first 16 dropped as the sky was too bright for the series and drowned out the planets). 14 x 10 second exposures with 2 minute interval at 40mm, f/6.3, ISO-800. Combined in Startrails.

Single exposure from the timelapse series. Venus and Mars setting after sunset with the "Sun" of Otford Solar System in the foreground.

To Do: Try manually adjusting the exposures of each RAW file so I can combined all 30 exposures.
