Some photos from my camp near Ajo with the new Astro Track
January 30, 2016

Orion's Belt, Sword, Horsehead Nebula, Orion Nebula, and the star Rigel in the upper right corner.
Rigel is the brightest star in the constellation Orion. A one minute exposure, the stars are perfectly sharp.
The Astro Trac works great. This is taken with a 100mm f2.8 macro lens.

Horsehead Nebula. A region of Orion's Belt with illuminated gas and dust clouds.
The bright star in the center is Alnitak. The other bright star in the upper right is

Alnilam, also in Orion's belt. 400mm, one minute exposure.


A better photo of the Triangulum Galaxy.
