September 2024 Image of the Month
Congratulations to Ross Steensland for his winning image: Tunnel View
A great image of the Milky Way from Yosemite
Ross Writes About His Image:
When planning a road trip across the Western United States, I envisioned a photo of the Milkyway across Tunnel View in Yosemite. After doing a little research and planning, I found that the Cygnus and Great Rift regions would line up perfectly. After a sleepless night and good conversation with a new friend, everything turned out to be everything I hoped for. The red nebula in the sky is from Hydrogen Alpha emission, which can be photographed with a modified camera. I used an astromodified Sony A7III, Sigma 24mm f1.4, and Nomad star tracker.
Exif data:
Sky- f2.8, iso 3200, 61s X7
Hydrogen alpha- f2.8, iso 6400, 61s X9
Foreground- f2, iso 2000, 122s X3
