Close Pairing

Unread post by DonB »

The wife is away for the week and I found myself awake at 4 am yesterday. Then I remembered this close pairing. Running down to the local golf coarse to get a good eastern horizon, I used a Orion 120mm F/5 refractor and a Cannon DSLR at 1/30 sec.

Fun morning. :P :P :P

Great job, Don!
I was feeling guilty not trudging out to the barn to get a low horizon, and you went out to the
golf course!! Beautiful!!!!

Well, I don't seem to do anything right on that golf coarse during the day so I figured I'd give the night time a try. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
