APOD: 2010 September 29 - An Airplane in Front of the Moon

Hot damn.

 

[Naren]

Looks almost photoshopped. :lol:

 

[jim777]

Even without the plane it's a great shot of the moon

 

[Soopahmahn]

Fucking sweet album cover.

 

[Tom]

That's a hell of a zoom lens.

No shit. WTB camera details.

No shit. WTB camera details.

Your wish is my command. Google-fu! :flex:

I recently posted a photo here called "Kangaroo Moon", I have also posted this photo to "Ice in Space" it is currently the "image of the week" on that forums home page. (APOD)

This photo is NOT a montage, I took this photo with a Vixen ED103 on a Vixen GP mount, with Vixen Sky Sensor 2000PC. Using a Canon 450D set at 1/250 ISO 200, cable release - And nerves of still (sic. probably meant "steel"), one frame only!

No zoom lens. It's a telescope!

Shit, I was so hoping that wasn't a $5000 telescope.

Never stopped your gear whoredom before. :fawk:

$5000 is a week at Hedonism with your sister. :yesway:

...does this girl know the things that are said of her in these parts? :spock:

My goodness no. :lol: She's actually way too nice for someone with my questionable moral compass.

 

[ohio_eric]

That Vixen gets 5 grand?? Holy Shit! :lol: That's like paying 5 grand for a Strat. Sure it's nice but there are other scopes that would beat it like a prison bitch for that kind of money. Plus I don't think you need Mr fancy pants super refractor for a shot like this. I'd guess any refractor with decent optics should be sufficient.

^ This man knows his telescopes and astronomy.

You should see his scope. :lol: It's like walking onto a porn set and seeing John Holmes about to do a scene with Ginger Lynn. :lol:

You mean, his gear is old?:rofl::rofl::rofl:
Or His "scope" is similar to the one from Holmes?

Heh. :lol:

DEFINITELY the latter. Like, HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE

 

[The Dark Wolf]

It's awesome, BTW, you can see SO MUCH SHIT through his scope, it's crazy.

I know, we already discussed and he helped me out. A good scope for astrophotography is on my list. Now I wait for the new Sigma SD1 :metal:
