The Winter Sky


Just a quick shot of the winter sky with my new Canon 60D. I haven't got to play with it much due to travel and then weather not being cooperative when I got back and life generally getting in the way. But so far, I like it. Here's why.

Cool, hale-bopp. You have to drive way out into the country to see stars like that around here.

Sure can't see stuff like this in the city.
Thanks Hale.

You even get to see the Milky Way; I'm jealous. On the maps that show light pollution, we rank way too high around here. We're lucky to see the big dipper and Orion.

That's only a ten minute drive from my place. I look forward to taking a trip farther out in the country to really open it up and see what this camera can do! Oh, and in March I am visiting our observatory in Chile for work so I will finally get to see and take some pics of e southern sky!
