oh my, what a lovely sound. I hope the mic
picks it up, all these night creatures
just chattering away, sounds like they're
having a good old time, but anyway
Well hello there, here we are on Monday the
19th of August 2019 and I wasn't
prepared to do any filming tonight. I was
just out here taking pictures with the
Canon 80D and the Tamron
18-400 millimeter lens and uh, but then
decided what the heck let's hit record too,
but I really wanted to try to get some
long exposure shots of a wide-angle view
of, say from Jupiter over to Saturn, a bit
of the willow tree in there and in hopes
of getting a bit of the band of the
Milky Way in because it should be right
in between the two of them, and I'm not
sure I used like 30 second exposures but
still I might have caught a cluster up
there I'm not sure we'll have to see how
the processing goes once we get it into
On1Photo and see if we can bring out
any details and try to see something
other than an overexposed shot
anyway we have the digital zoom part on,
it's set to 10x so, I don't have a
teleconverter on here so it's not going
to come in very big but it looks like
the bands are coming in pretty well.
I'm gonna grab a clip though I don't
know how well it'll come out but we'll
try it. I'll be right back. okay there we
go. We got that clip and I'm going to
try to get Jupiter's moons in.
ah looks like all four of them are in
the far left side there's one real close
to Jupiter's 10 o'clock position there. Oh how cool. that's a neat formation. I like
that. Go even brighter. Well I doubt the video is
gonna pick it up but I see a whole bunch
of white flashes up there out around
the the four moon planets. that is quite
cool. yeah, there's one constant light
about the 12 o'clock position that keeps flashing up there, so I don't think
that's an artifact, it's either a distant
star or who knows, maybe it's one of
the gazillion moons that are orbiting
around Jupiter. all right so that's quite
cool there
let's try to head on over to Saturn.
while we're here we might as well try
and there it is
cool
now it's really hard to see because it's
so tiny on this monitor. we're only on
that Tamron 18 to 400 millimeter lens
so we can't zoom in quite as far. I will
do a crop zoom though in Final Cut Pro,
try to get closer but, okay there we
have the duo tonight and like I said I
wasn't prepared to do any filming so I
don't know how this is gonna come out,
but my main objective was to get
pictures, but anyway Saturn is in the
South right now
Jupiter's in the southwest, the moon
doesn't rise until about 10:30 p.m. so
it's giving us pretty clear skies here,
but if we do anything I'll put some
pictures in here, maybe these, do some
stacking, we'll see how it all comes out
Anyway I hope your new week is going
well and all is right in your world
y'all take care now. Bye from
Northeastern Ohio. It's now 9:38 p.m.
Take care now.
