(長咀) Camping and simple wide field imaging

Just went camping again, this site requires three hours walk of over 10km difficult hiking trail.

So, I only had a simple small tripod plus a Canon 70D with 24mm pancake lens.

Two persons, two tent, a simple shelter more for wind shielding than anything else.


Waiting for the sunset.


This is not really a dark site, bright light from mainland China could be seen easily, but it's not bad either.

Wind was exceptionally strong, this is a shot of M45 combined with landscape... for the camera fell down with the tripod in the middle of the exposure.


We could see the light pollution from below:




I love this shot the most, combining M41 and Sirius with landscape.  I guess I shall do more of this type from now on, before going to tracked photography?


Mug shot of Orion with M42.




I was forced inside the tent after maybe ten o clock at night!

On the way to the camping site, we had a partial solar eclipse...
