Squirrel looks just a bit apprehensive too.
This was in a park in Boston crowded with tourists. There were maybe 4 or 5 of us shooting and watching it unfold. Seem like a good minute past with zero movement. Finally the squirrel flinched and bolted with the hawk in hot pursuit. Didn't see what happened in the end but my money is on the hawk. |

My own Eagle photo
Been working on this off and on for a few days and finally got an edit I don't mind sharing. This is the Eagle Nebula, or Messier Object M16. The first shot is a very tight crop so the stars are just a little bloated and the noise is more noticeable, but I wanted to expose the detail in the core of the nebula. The core was the subject of one of the most famous Hubble shots ever, often called the Pillars of Creation. I've rotated the cropped photo so the 'pillars' are oriented more like the NASA version. I'll put a NASA link at the end of the post. I used to have that photo as a screen saver.
I had no idea until recently that one could capture a glimpse of this, however tiny and faint, with modest equipment. My telescope is small and has an effective focal length roughly half that of the lens Thomas uses for his amazing eagle captures. 30 or so 5 minute exposures were stacked to obtain enough detail to process the image. Camera is a Canon 7D. ISO 1600. The telescope f4.6. Click for the large version. Not much to see if you are using a phone to view. I've included the full frame in the second image - it's what the camear really saw before the crop and rotation. The nebula on the left is the Omega Nebula. Here's a link to NASA's photo. |

But, if your camera has a manual mode and a reasonably wide angle lens, 25mm or so, you can get pretty nice shots of the Milky Way if you find a dark area. At 25mm you can take a 20 second exposure on a regular tripod at ISO 3200 and get something you can see providing you lens has a fairly large aperture - f3.5 at least. Check out the Lonely Speck website for some solid info on how to get started. https://www.lonelyspeck.com/ This was my very first Milky Way image taken about 6 years ago. I knew very little about astrophotography but driving late one night I noticed I could see the Milky Way... not a sight I was used to seeing from the DFW area. I had a DSLR, an 11-16 f2.8 lens and a tripod. I put the camera on the tripod, pointed it nearly straight up, focused on infinity, set the ISO to 3200, and took a 30 second exposure. Was amazed when I pulled the images up on the PC. I didn't know until very recently that the blurry splotch of light in the upper right of the frame is Andromeda. Was surprised to learn that the apparent size of Andromeda is about 3 times the apparent size of the moon. Lucky catch on my first cast. |
