I didn't know. George also made another video that I did not view yet about the technical stuff for the camera and using a star tracker. Mostly the stuff I learned from Neowise in 2020 I imagine.

It's over 10 years old now and Google no longer has the files to download, but if you find it somewhere else, Picasa photo viewer does work. I believe you will still have to install Nikon's CODEC. Picasa is still installed on my Windows 10 machine just for me to use the photo viewer. The photo...

The current reports are that the comet is now visible through binoculars. There is coma and tail visible in photos done with telescopes. This comet should be just bright enough to try capturing with camera and lens for exposure stacking. The video is a photographer's estimate for best nights...

Haha! A duck taking a gander.

Nikon Zfc does it. Bet a Z50 does also. https://onlinemanual.nikonimglib.com/zfc/en/09-03-33.html

Congrats Marcel! I was just pleased I unintentionally took a photo that was on-topic this round.

Re f-stop: Using shutter-priority auto exposure so that is where it landed because of cloudy conditions. At the distance to subject, DOF was no issue. A good deal of cropping going on with my photos. But going to 1/1000 would have pushed the ISO up another stop and the early shots had more noise...

I just did this New Years day. Nearly the same hardware too. Heavy-duty tripod with a Sirui K40 ballhead and Wimberly Sidekick gimbal adapter. I have a Z5, FTZ-II, Sigma 150-600mm C lens. I was shooting eagles at a dam spillway. Personally, I am not too proud to use auto-exposure. I had ISO to...

Two ways to send a PM that I see. First click on the name of a user you see in a thread and then click on the "Start Conversation" button. Second way I noticed is to click on the envelope icon next to your user name in the top-right part of the forum screen. I just did the first method to see...

I always liked Harry Nilsson. ;)

This one is forecast to brighten to just naked-eye visible around the last week of January 2023. During this time it will appear in the sky to the north, right in there with the Big and Little Dippers. It may take a long telephoto lens to photograph it well. It will be less than half as bright...

You're welcome. And you did make a better photo in every way.

Part 2, with extra goose and peregrine falcon.

Inspiration does not strike on regular basis, but when it does I'll share it here. January 1 trip to Prairie du Sac, WI.

The first of the photos is submitted to the Animal Magic weekly challenge. Others will come soon. Also a cellphone shot at location.

I put my Wimberly Sidekick to the test today. I was taking action photos of eagles 1-handed with my coffee mug in the left hand. Didn't do it that way all morning, but until the coffee ran dry anyhow. :p

Z5, Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 C 1-1-2023 10am

@Peter7100 : I took a photo with a very similar theme in 2021 on a day with freezing fog. You did everything better than I did.

It's a tough call. I put this photo on the cover of my 2023 calendar. I think 2022 was one of my best years of photography, and I did not set out with that as a goal.

I have only been planning this photo out for 3 years, but still did not get what I set out to do. I think I needed about 3x as many exposures (or more) to get the nebulae around Orion to show.
