Iris

These photos are older than the ones with lilies and roses. Forgot to put them up before. Most of the irises are gone already.

Lens: Minolta MD Tele Rokkor-X 135mm f/2.8.

(Iris winogradowii x Iris histrioides)

These came up much later than Iris 'Pixie' - I actually thought they'd rotted. A lovely surprise!

Les dernières photos d'iris pour vous souhaiter un bon dimanche.

After M94 I turned my attention to the Iris Nebula for a couple of frames this time trying both cameras-Canon T3i and modified T3(while taking darks with T3i). I plan to revisit the Iris with longer subs once I get this German Equatorial mount figured out. Having used a fork and wedge setup for 15+ years I feel like I have 2 right arms trying to adjust this mount.

After 1 night of imaging I am very happy with the new scope. The Goto is something I should have had long ago. Image quality is 100% better with very little vignetting, when compared to my ST & SCT photos. Stars are much sharper thanks to the Crayford Dual Speed Focuser and Apochromatic Optics.This scope has a 3" focuser, using my 2" ultra wide adapter from my SCT. I only shot 2-600 second frames to test the telescopes optics. Tracking was great,but a few bugs to work out.

A peine 20 centimètres de haut et bravant le froid, le premier iris de la saison bien protégé dans la rocaille du Jardin de Bagatelle.

Saw these in my neighbor's garden. They were kind enough to let me pick a couple.

Iris at Point Defiance Park

An iris in full bloom in my garden.

Stuff I saw while out and about... I love purple...

There is also a very large patch of iris in back. They are gorgeous and somehow managed to survive our rain yesterday.
