Hearing Aids (Explore #66)
The Milky Way passes over the Owens Valley Radio Observatory, near Big Pine. These radio telescopes are used to listen for signs of extraterrestrial communications.
...I mean, study the sun's magnetic field.
If you go, be aware that the constant tracking of dishes will cause motion blur; I listened for the motor to get softer, and crossed my fingers between 30 sec shutter clicks.
Lens is the DFA 55mm f/2.8 on the 645Z. This is a composite of a 6-frame foreground image captured at OVRO in 2020 and a recent set of milky way images(60+ frames), captured at Pinecrest Lake last weekend. I am learning new software, so took this opportunity to make this image using Deep Sky Stacker and StarnetGUI star remover. My post processing is intentionally a bit heavy handed and extra bluey, for effect.
Hope you like it.
