2022 Targets

2022 started off with a trip to a dark sky site.  

In February 2022, we took a trip to Convict Lake, CA.  Here we were treated to dark clear skies at an altitude of 7500.  I was able to capture a few hours of exposure using the Orion ED80CF using my Canon 60D.  The dark skies and exposure time produced much more detail than the image captured from home.  

Horse Head and Flame - February 2022

Below are a few images I have captured in 2022.  All these images were captured under Bortle 6 skies in the San Francisco Bay Area.  These images were captured using the Orion ED80CF and the Canon 60D.  M57 was captured using the Meade 10" SCT at 2500mm focal length using the Canon 60D.
