Great image Gary. I love the contrast between the star clouds and dark nebulae. Do you still shoot with the Hassy?
Hi Brian: Thanks! Yes, the Hassy and I are still good friends, though I tend to reserve it for dedicated outings. I even use it for travel from time to time: https://filmadvance.com/2015/05/the-hasselblad-travel-camera/
Gary, Great shot from your other career! How is it there’s no star tracks at 20 min? Motorized tripod or just shooting larger negative?
Thanks Bob. Yes, I used a tracking mount to compensate for Earth’s rotation. Without that, you’re quite correct — the stars would be mere streaks across the frame. Gary
