Back on page three of this thread is an image and mention of those mythological and astronomical twins, Castor and Pollux. They are back for your viewing pleasure in the night sky with Jupiter joining them, an added bonus this year. At least for those stargazing in the Northern Hemisphere anyway. For right now, you will need to wait until late at night, Very Late. or Very Early in the morning if your clock works that way. A little after midnight. Look a little to the left of Orion and there these three will be forming an arc. Procyon is along for the arc ride... As long as the clouds are not too much, the arc is visible even in cloudy, light polluted skies like the one shown here. This is the equivalent of a just almost but not quite ten minutes stars exposure with a five seconds clouds exposure.1 point -
XF 18-120mm F/4 for video: parfocal? Stepping aperture?
jerryy reacted to Claudio Monelli for a topic
Thank you so much, Jerryy! The article is very interesting and now I'm confident about the aperture stepping. About the parfocal property, I have information that the first FW releases didn't fix the initial issues (focusing mistakes in zooming), but a following resease solved the problem: I would like to have a confirmation by some actual user of the lens. Very kind of you, Jerryy!!1 point -

Hi everyone. Just bought my retirement gift to myself - an XT-5 with 16-50 and 70-300 lenses and cant wait to get started. Used to be a keen photographer before life got in the way and have continued, albeit with phone, but despite it taking decent photos, I want to move on to the next level. Really excited about to getting to grips with this beast and realise what a steep learning curve I'm on and will be looking for plenty of advice and tips.1 point

Tamron 150-500mm lens opinion?
thelostkiwi reacted to jerryy for a topic
I have a copy of Tamron’s 150 - 600mm G2 lens. It has really good image quality and is easy to use. I have heard the one you are asking about is similar. Will you be able to test it? The only drawback for me with my lens is after carrying it around for a while, it gets heavy and so on the tripod it goes. Also, it was not a FX mount lens, so I use a Fringer smart adapter, but that has never been a problem.1 point -

Many star-gazers see Constellation Cassiopeia riding high in the autumn sky as a "w" or "m" shape. It also sits next to Constellation Cepheus which holds some very beautiful clusters and nebulae. One is the Lobster Claw Nebula (Sh2-157): https://www.astronomy.com/observing/deep-sky-dreams-sharpless-2-157/ Other favorites include the Bubble Nebula (NGC 7635): https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/12247 and the Northern Lagoon Nebula (NGC 7538); https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NGC_7538 This region has some lovely clusters you can see simply by looking up in the right place, while using binoculars (or if you have very good night eyesight, just look up) for them. Messier Object M52: https://freestarcharts.com/messier-52 and NGC 7510: https://theskylive.com/sky/deepsky/ngc7510-object This exposure, timed at just under 54 minutes in Bortle 9 skies, almost hints at the lobster's claw, but really it needs more exposure time to make it visible in photos, darker skies would also help. If you search the internet, you can find some fantastic renditions.1 point -

Hi I have tried to make Northern lights photos the first time in my life. I used 2000 ASA, f2.8 and 2 seconds. The aurora borealis was moving around quite fast and with more than 2 seconds the pictures came out like fuzzy mush. To find infinity on the fully manual Laowa lens has to be done in advance, I marked it on the body of the lens. What do you think about the result? Kind regards, Hannes1 point
