June 2011 Astrophotography

Well, here it is: June's astrophoto gallery, which is quite small considering the delay. Anyway, enjoy these first serious astro images courtesy of the Nikon D700.

 M4 in Scorpius.

 The Wild Duck Cluster (M11) just off Aquila's tail.

 Jupiter and Capella at dawn (even in June)

 A thin Moon.

 No, that's not smoke, but thin clouds and not all the dark is cloud cover, either.

The Orion 120 f8.3 has undeniable vignetting with the full-frame D700.

Humble requests:

If you found this informative (or at least entertaining), help me pay my bills and check out my Examiner pages for space news, cleveland photography, national photography, and astronomy for more great stuff.

If you think this was cool, why not tell a friend?
