Astronomical Observing - documented using the Leica T / 23mm / Leica SF 24D flash

 

On Friday 13 Nov., night skies in Peterborough were beautifully clear with excellent 'seeing' for an astro observing trip with my pal Mike H and his new Skywatcher 14" 'Go To' Dobsonian telescope; I was using Canon 10x42 mage stabilised binoculars and photographed the proceedings using my Leica T with 23mm T lens and red filtered Leica SF 24D flashgun. The red filtered flash is essential to avoid compromising observer's night vision. The camera was set to B&W film mode. We drove to a local dark sky location at the Sacrewell Heritage Farm where the astronomy society has permission to observe - well away from the red glow of the Peterborough city lights.

After assembling the modular 'scope, its 'Go To' system will automatically find the chosen night sky objects and align to same. Everything is accomplished in absolute darkness apart from a small red headlight (not visible in the photo); an observer's night vision adjusts to total darkness within approx 30 minutes. The list in Mike's hand documents all the Messier and NGC night sky objects he has chosen to view and which can be 'dialled in' via the 'scopes computerised handset

After over 3 hours of fabulous skies the wind became uncomfortably cold and we packed up.

 

 

The main Newtonian 'scope tube collapses into a manageable package and fits on the rear seat of the car.

 

 

 

The modular Dobsonian mount with its captive fasteners dismantles into a compact package for easy car boot stowage. 

 

 

The Leica T / 23mm focused accurately in the total darkness via its focus assist - and focus was very fast following the latest firmware update. The flashgun filter comprised 4 sheets of red cellophane; ISO was set to 800 and 1600; lens aperture was set to f2 and f2.5.

In this photograph the scope's handset is visible; once properly set-up i.e. after alignment with just two stars, the scope's computerised alt-az mount can be directed to any one of thousands of night sky phenomena. 

 

The case contains a selection of different focal length eyepieces each of which enables a different magnification.

Those Courthouses are a passion of mine. Some are more well maintained and kept but all I have seen are nice. Come on down, Texas has something for everyone.

 

Of the 50 years I worked I travelled 25. It's very relaxing to visit places all over the home state for a change.

I presume use use the Lightroom Verticals to sort out the converging verticals, because your images to my eyes look perfect of these court houses.

This picture taken by me and the Leica T 55–130 is of the 'House of Heads' on Water Street, Guelph, Ontario, Canada. The heads were carved by the ever so skilful Scottish stonemason Matthew Bell, This house is, incidentally, a stone's throw from the childhood home of the soldier-poet John McCrae who penned  the well-known war poem 'In Flanders Fields'. Specs: f5, @64mm, 1/160, ISO 200; handheld – hence the slight fuzziness; no post-processing. I like the changing shadow on the heads. High-time to give the woodwork some TLC.

Probably the same Stag … taken with Novoflex 400mm T  Noflexar fitted with Canon FD to M and Leica M to T adaptors. Lens was purchased via Ebay Germany as a £59 inc. shipping 'Buy It Now or Best Offer' as had fungus … but fungus cleaned off fairly easily without leaving any residue or coating damage
