Camp Cheesehead Aug '02 page 2

More photos from camp cheesehead.

This was my second attempt at the gamma cygnus region, the first time I underexposed it so this time I took a 20 minute and 40 minute exposure, unfortunately, the 40 minute one bounced all over the place (bad choice of guidestars).

Another shot of the trifid nebula.  This was taken on the second night of observation, it's a shorter exposure then the other one but the seeing was slightly degraded (haze).

This is actually a leftover shot from the first weekend in October at the cheese camp.  This is a 15 minute unguided shot of the cygnus milky way.  Shot through a 50mm lens on a very windy evening (which is why I didn't bother guiding).

Another shot of the southern milky way.  I really botched this one, should have left the camera shutter open for another 30 minutes. I started this shot around 9:00pm and was very preoccupied with two moose that came to visit me.
