Just thought I’d share this with everyone.
We’ve always enjoyed astronomy and love it when there’s a new moon and we can get a good look at the night sky.
In Belmont, we’re pretty close to the city (San Francisco) and get a lot of city light which tends to wash-out the night sky.
If we look south-south-west however it’s much darker as we’re looking towards the Santa Cruz mountain range.
When I got up early this morning I had to grab my camera and capture one of my favorite constellations—Orion.
This was taken today, October 9th 2010 just after six in the morning.
I used our Nikon D70 with a shutter speed of 30†at f4.8 and ISO of 1600.
