Milky Way, close up. This shot from last month was captured at the longest focal length I've tried so far! Using my #Omegon Minitrack LX2 and the relatively cheap EF 85mm f/1.8 I was able to catch this close up view of the Milky Way's core. The bri
Milky Way, close up. This shot from last month was captured at the longest focal length I've tried so far! Using my #Omegon Minitrack LX2 and the relatively cheap EF 85mm f/1.8 I was able to catch this close up view of the Milky Way's core. The bright object in the center is Messier Object 8, the Lagoon Nebula. The bright bit on the far right is Jupiter peeking in to say hello! Big thanks to @behind_bvp For joining me and talking to the owls. . . #igofhouston #canonusa #milkyway #houstonian #nightshooters #milkywaychasers #longexposure #instagood #igpodium_night #urbanandstreet #resourcemag #houston #milkywaychasers #astrophotography #igtexas #moodygrams #galaxy #exploretocreate #longexpo_addiction #createcommune #astrophotos #createexplore #heatercentral #visualarchitects #visualambassadors #visuals #teamcanon #stars

Here's another of my favorites from the tippy top of Enchanted Rock in the Texas hill country. By this point in the evening Juli was dead tired from helping lug our gear up the slippery rock face (definitely packing lighter next time) but she soldiered on patiently while I fumbled around with the tubes. 😊 This is one of my favorite shapes to make, I think it's pretty darn good.

Milky Way over Galveston Island. I spent my memorial day weekend stumbling around in the deep sand while recovering from a nasty virus, and I have to say it was worth it! Despite feeling like I'd been hit by a FedEx truck, I managed to stay up late and catch this amazing view down at the dunes. The headlights from the nearby drunk-driving offroaders in their huge trucks cast off the perfect amount of light for the edge of the dune 🙌 . . #igofhouston #canonusa #milkyway #houstonian #nightshooters #milkywaychasers #longexposure #instagood #igpodium_night #urbanandstreet #resourcemag #houston #milkywaychasers #astrophotography #igtexas #moodygrams #galaxy #exploretocreate #longexpo_addiction #createcommune #astrophotos #superhubs #createexplore #heatercentral #visualarchitects #visualambassadors #visuals #visualsoflife #teamcanon #stars
