All this new equipment and a whole lot of reading again.I know I will never achieve Nighthounds level but its a start. By the way, Thanks to all that have managed to have this Astronomical site up and running. I am mostly found cruising the Bird forum, but this has my full attention right now. Many Thanks

I did have other static shots of the heavens but forgot to bump up the iso and did not get the results I was looking for. Oh well, thats what this is all about isn't it, learn and move on.

BIRDSMARTIN THREAD STARTER Member 154 posts Joined Jul 2007 Location: Belleville, Ontario. Canada More info | Nov 04, 2008 04:09 | #10 Sorry For the missing exif, I resized this to upload to the forum.It was shot with a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens on a manfrotto 055 tripod.Camera was a 30D set on Bulb with I think about a 12-15 minute exposure, ISO 100, @3.5 of course a remote was used. It was wickedly cold night -4.0. It was taken on the shores of Lake Ontario, with the wind howling, I was in the car with the remote cable hanging out the window. Can you tell me how to keep the info/exif intact when I upload.I use (jpeg sizer) for the upload and emailing my photos, could this be the problem. Thanks Douglas
