  • 11DD2335 This uncropped photo of a 6 point buck was taken with an 1100mm f/7 lens with a 2X Tele-Extender (2200mm total focal length). The buck was about 230 yards across a grass field that was still in early morning shade. This was an important factor in keeping the air turbulence to a minim, which is very important when using a lens with a 6 inch aperture over that distance. The next photo is of the same buck at the same distance.

  • Andromeda Galaxy: This is one of our nearest galaxy neighbors that is about twice the size of our galaxy. Take with a 70mm f/2.8 zoom and cropped to 50% of the field. Exposure 8 sec. at ISO 12,800 on tripod (no clock drive), five images stacked and processed.

  • North American Nebula: This VERY faint nebula shaped like North America is located in the middle of this image. Take with a 70mm f/2.8 zoom and cropped to 50% of the field. Exposure 8 sec. at ISO 12,800 on tripod (no clock drive), nine images stacked and processed.

  • Pleiades Star Cluster: This is a popular open star cluster located near the constellation Taurus the Bull. Take with a 200mm f/2.8 zoom and cropped to 50% of the field. Exposure 3 sec. at ISO 12,800 on tripod (no clock drive), four images stacked and processed. There is a little bit of star trailing in this image because a 3 second exposure is a little long for a “non-driven” 200mm lens. The Earth’s rotation causes the star trails.
