Meteoroid, Satellite & Milky Way

I missed the recent competition based around "Luck" but this probably would have been my entry. One of my early and certainly not best astrophotography shots was attempting to capture the Milky Way over a large railway viaduct in North Yorkshire, UK.

The shot was interrupted by an extremely bright meteoroid and on examination a satellite flare (and aircraft). Not sure of the chances of this ever happening but they've got to be reasonably slim! So not my best but certainly my luckiest!

Anyone else have a lucky astro shot?

Vintage Lens

Another visit to our garden using a vintage lens (Canon FD 50mm f/1.4) on my Canon R5. NOTE: With this lens the minimum focusing distance is 18" at which point you have 1/4" depth of field.

Austin, Texas Blue Hour

Was down in Austin for a bit on a work trip. I've always heard how beautiful the skyline is from the river.

Was a little let down by the clouds, but what can I do!

Any interest in this group?

Hi all, I was looking for such a group but see that although there are many members there hasn’t been a single post. Is there interest out there in getting this group going?

Vintage Lenses

I thought I would try out my 50 year old lenses: Canon FD 50mm f/1.5 SSC and Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 on my Canon R5 with the use of the appropriate adapter.
