These are stunning! How long have you been doing photography?

Thank you.

When those images were taken it had only been two months with the CCD and less than one year total. I had taken 3 images with a dslr with the 3rd and final in January of 2013 before moving on to CCD. These were some of my first ones taken.

Amazing learning experience.

The Last Sunflower Trail by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

158 fifteen second exposures were used to make a 40 minute star trail image of a row sunflowers in full bloom. A week after the photograph was taken the plants began to succumb to the coming of Fall making this the last sunflower star trail of the Summer. A Canon T2i was used with a Sigma 10-20 mm zoom lens. Tungsten white balance was used for the individual exposures providing the bluish cast.

This morning, although there was a great disturbance due to the Moon I tried the same in this particular triptych: photograph the comet C/2012 S1 Ison, the planet Mars and the asteroid Eros. You must consider that the comet in the coming weeks will pass close to the planet Mars. the comet begins to show some gaseous activity

I've been working on this one since June. The Arizona monsoon season interrupted my efforts and it's only recently that I've been able to get back to it and finish. Because of it's resemblance to the Kool Aid man from the TV commercials of childhood...I've nicknamed this nebula "The Kool Aid Man nebula". Comments and criticisms appreciated. It's sure good to be imaging again. Enjoy!!
