Had a clear night last night, and had a chance to try out some cool new gear I bought. This is a photo of Messier object 51 - Whirlpool Galaxy Distance from Milky Way: 23 million light years (that's roughly 130,000,000,000,000,000,000 miles from us). Another way to think about it is the light...

So I am trying to get into doing some astrophotography... nothing too complicated - just shooting on a fixed tripod. I made the first attempt last night... The below image is the result of 72 total individual exposures: 10 bias frames 12 dark frames 20 flat frames 30 light frames The light...

Had the opportunity to visit another conservatory in Rockford IL while travelling through for business. The Nicholas Conservatory is right along the rock river just north of downtown Rockford. All pics taken using a Canon T3 EOS Rebel and a Tamron 60mm f/2.0 lens with a ring flash.

I visited Garfield Park Conservatory in Chicago recently, figured I would share some of the pics I captured while there. All pics were taken with a Canon T3 EOS and a 60mm Tamron f/2.0 macro lens with attached ring flash.

There were some folks interested in this process, so here is an overview of the build on my LED fixture. Recently, I converted my freshwater planted 12 gallon long aquarium into a saltwater reef tank. However, I had a specific challenge in that it is not an easy tank to light. I wanted an...

I am considering putting 2 of these with 80 degree optics on my 12 gallon long tank. The intended stock is to be just softies/zoas/palys. Any opinions? Will 2 be enough, or do I need a third? 12 LED PAR38 Bulb (Mixed Color with UV) - Rapid LED Also, looking at these as a fixture for...

I am considering setting up a 12 gallon long reef tank. It is a cool tank, but is is 36" wide, so I am trying to decide how I want to effectively light it. I have AI Sols on my larger reef tank, and they are in the same room, so it might be nice to match the lighting and put AI Nanos on my new...
