New Night Sky Pictures

Here are my latest night sky pictures. I took these December 10, 2009. The brightest with the star streaks was about a 30 minute exposure. The rest were around 15 second exposures with varying apertures and iso settings.

First Snow of Winter ’09

These are some pics of lower Middle Tennessee’s first Winter ’09 snowfall. Not much but at least 1-2 inches when done. Sewanee probably got 3-4 inches.

I realize the second is a little out of focus. I hadn’t realized it was on manual.
