all righty, it's been a long time coming but here we have Orion in the southern sky
so at the moment I'm out here on the Canon 90D with the 17 to 55 millimeter lens
boy, it's so good to see Orion again, I think the last time I got this
constellation was back during the winter time but poor Sirius is stuck behind
that willow tree, well there's something flashing up there, it was in the uh
it flashed in the top right, I don't see any airplanes by looking up in the sky so
we'll have to double-check that part of the footage
anyway just a quick look here at Orion's belt and Orion's nebula, I think I'll try
to change lenses and I'll be right back, hang on now
okay we're back out with the
70 to 200 Canon lens on here and we're at the 200 millimeters trying to focus
in on the Orion Nebula I got some pictures
the colors were coming out great especially the turquoise we'll see what
it looks like once that it gets processed, but that is quite cool
we'll go up a bit to uh
get the belt except I might be zoomed in too far, yeah cuz I'm lost
well that's alright, okay there we go, that's better, so I could figure out where I was
so there's the belt up there I want to try to get up to Beteljuice, Betelgeuse, whatever
but I can see so many stars I can't tell which ones which. it would be the top
left of the constellation but. and bright orange. drat, it's possible
that the brightest one there is Beteljuice, Betelgeuse, again, whatever
oh well
yeah when you're zoomed in so far it's really hard to tell and still Sirius
hasn't topped the tree yet, it's trying, and I am freezing it's about 40°F
degrees out here now, and my fingers have gone numb already
So there we go, there's Sirius down in the trees
I look forward to getting that one again
when it's not playing funny buggers with the branches
alrighty, well there we go, been a long night it's now 5:10 a.m.
and while Final Cut Pro is in there doing the transcoding and rendering and all that stuff
from the earlier footage of the moon, Jupiter, Saturn, and a whole bunch of flybys
but I think the footage is a bit too long so I'll either do this one
separately if it comes out that is and I hope so cuz it's great to see 'em again
alright, I'm frozen so y'all take care I hope you have a
great Wednesday here, good night now, good morning, afternoon, whatever, bye from Ohio
it's now 5:13 a.m. woo, a long one, ten hours so far, add a couple more on
to this one
oh my oh my oh my
I love watching the sky though
