Star Trails in Space
These are a series of images photographed from a mounted camera on the Earth-orbiting International Space Station, from approximately 240 miles above Earth. Expedition 31 Flight Engineer Don Pettit relayed some information about photographic techniques used to achieve the images:
“My star trail images are made by taking a time exposure of about 10 to 15 minutes. However, with modern digital cameras, 30 seconds is about the longest exposure possible, due to electronic detector noise effectively snowing out the image. To achieve the longer exposures I do what many amateur astronomers do. I take multiple 30-second exposures, then ‘stack’ them using imaging software, thus producing the longer exposure.”
Brock Davis does it again. This guy seriously never fails to impress; check out his photostream!

Stunning imagery.
Never-Before-Seen Photos From the Early Days of Space Exploration
The Gemini astronauts also took some of the most memorable photos in NASA history. You’d think we would have seen them all by now. But with Nasa’s help and funding, a team of researchers at Arizona State University led by lunar scientist Mark Robinson has retrieved from the archives dozens of outtakes that never made it into wide circulation.

Canon’s announced an all new DLSR - the 60Da!
It’s specially made for astrophotographers with an infrared filter that can pick up 3X more hydrogen-alpha light than any other Canon DSLR.
That means richer photos of nebulae and the like.
This camera is perfect for me.
Snapping pictures of the Moon is a breeze in comparison to Mars. The top picture is Mars in its native resolution, and the bottom is the same picture zoomed waaay in (which I thought looked kind of neat)
I am getting a new 2x Barlow adapter for my camera this week, and while it won’t make for breathtaking planetary images, it should make for some interesting ones.
