Nightfly Astrophotography

This time of year represents the mandated slowdown in nightly outdoor activities. Observing and astrophotography are hit and miss. If it is clear, it is usually too cold. If it's warm? Clouds..... I have managed to get out, but it is a few nights a month. February should moderate the temperature somewhat. Again it will be hit or miss. On the news front. We have a few new lenses to work with . The 55mm f/4 will produce amazing wide field Milky Way Panorama's . The 200mm f/4 that was a gift from Igor Morin , will frame some detailed areas of the Milky Way. Thanks Igor.
