Fun to fool around with a tele, wonder if he saw me.

As the otter was eating the small fish it just caught and the mother Mallard was escaping with her two ducklings (two previous posts), this eagle flew overhead and carefully scoped out the events transpiring below before continuing on it's way.
Looks like this big ram is scoping things out, but he was actually in the process of sitting down on top of this ledge right across from the confluence. And yep, it was quite cold, as you can tell from his breath.
Have a great Sunday, and as always, thanks for all your visits and comments!!!!!

Closer view of the working end of my scope setup so I can label everything (with notes) for those who are interested
A quick shot of Scope Beck Tarn looking down Newlands Valley Cumbria, during a break in the weather.
I shot this while I was in Oregon. A snowstorm hit the whole region, so, as someone from SoCal, I chose to make the most of it.
Nikon Micro-NIKKOR 55mm f2.8 Ai-S.
I wanted to scope out an old Nikon lens, and a Nikon guy recommended this lens as the best one to try first. (Either this or a 105mm f2.5 Ai-S, or one of the f1.2's).
It's a 1:2 lens, despite the name implying a greater magnification. I've got a PK-13 extension tube designed for the lens. It gives the lens a 1:1 magnification, but a rather bulky feel.
This photo was taken with a MIR-1 and a simple extension tube. I've finally cleaned the inside of the MIR, and it's as sharp stopped down as people say.
I'll be interested to see how the Micro-NIKKOR performs; it has a strong reputation among Nikon shooters.
Saw this matte white R8 GT flying past me on the freeway while I was driving, grabbed my camera, stuck it out the window a took a couple one handed shots. Then I put the camera down, tucked away my boner(just kidding), and followed it because it got off at the next exit. It was pretty damn sick.
Audi R8 GT
Mated pair of Common Loons (Gavia immer) slowly inspect the a shadowed bay along the shoreline of a lake in Vilas County. They seemed to be scoping out possible nesting sites as they made soft mewing vocalizations to each other. They seemed oblivious to my presence in a kayak nearby and came quite close to me at times.

The Norfolk Scope is a 12,600-seat multipurpose arena at the northern perimeter of downtown Norfolk, Virginia. It was designed by Italian architect/engineer Pier Luigi Nervi in 1971 at a cost of $35 million dollars.
Taken around 7:00 PM, 3 shots @ 1/5, 1/20, .8 second shutter speeds; aperture f/22; ISO 100

S Orionis
www.eso.org/public/news/eso0725/
The main theme of this photo is S Orionis, the red star at the right edge of the image, which would appear unusually blurred without the IR/UV filter. In this photo, the IR/UV filter is used, so it is not blurry.
This is because the image sensor ASI662MC (Sony IMX662) has very high infrared sensitivity, so the infrared light would appear as chromatic aberration with a normal camera lens. In other words, it is easy to find stars with strong infrared radiation.
S Orionis has a radius 400 to 500 times that of the Sun and is a dying star that has used up all of its hydrogen fusion fuel. It is about 5 billion years beyond the Sun.
The stacking 214 frames x 2sec was done with ASILive, a PC software running on Windows 11 pro, which allowed me to remotely log in from a PC in a warm room for observation and control.
Without a guide scope, the 50mm focal length was the limit of my ability to find the target object by aiming.
The ASI662MC uses SONY's IMX662 CMOS sensor, which is a very small 1/2.8-inch sensor, so even at a 50mm focal length, it is a telephoto lens with a full-size equivalent of almost 300mm.

After a few more changes to the ACOG, I've now created instructions for it.
Rendering the image in POVRay took a massive 15 hours, making it by far the longest render I've done. The clear bricks to make up the lens were what slowed it down, taking up around ten hours of the whole render!
This is a 4 panel work in progress. I need to add more Luminance & Ha to 3 panels, weather permitting. Unlike my Orion mosaic, I collected LRGB first.
#1 IC443 LRGB+Ha 3x600/each for a total of 2.5 hours
#2,3,4 M35 LRGB 3x300 each per panel for 3.0 hours
Images aquired with a QHY9M & AT65EDQ
piggybacked on Orion ED102EDT on Sirius EQ-G Mount
Guiding with Orion SSAG,50mm mini guide scope

I was bored so i made this.the shading techniques are all Shockwave's(except for the shaded screw), I just made some custom scopes
Credit to Shockwave for the original scope
Finally I maneged to upload the code of the small scope pastebin.com/aX8Y9xV4
one of my pieces at the shooting gallery booth at SCOPE new york last week

The Screw thingy is for the left side, you can remove it after one ungroup.
The left one<<<(the result of staying awake till 8 am and trying to get your shit done, move along) The right one is the recolorable one, after the same one ungroup to avoid coloring the Screw thing,
Credit to shock for some techniques regarding recolorablility, and the screw head, btw Shocky, do you mind if i use reverse engineering on your parts to learn more and get some ideas?
