or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bok Globules
This blog was previously about my efforts to learn astrophotography. In the Spring of 2014, I expanded it to include information about my other interests, especially Natural History, and my volunteer work for the National Park System and California Phenology Program.

A better M8
This is a bit closer to the natural color balance as seen right in the camera. It is made from roughly 70 minutes of exposure, culled from over 5 hours shot over the last two nights. The full size master is really showing a lot of dimension that is not visible at the 1200px size here (click on image to enlarge it) but I can't post 12 megabyte pictures too often...so we'll live with this. It's not bad, at least in my own biased view.
By the way, this is not cropped-this is the full frame of the 40D, nearly 1.5 degrees across. That is nearly three times the size of a full moon. I know I go on and on and on about those binoculars, but really; try it.
