I shot the last three frames of Roll2006.12 at the late twilight view of the crescent moon, resplendent with earthshine, and Venus near by. Spaceweather.com gave this skymap for the conjunction. The shots were manually set to the infinite focus, and i think i overturned the focus for frames 23 & 24 shot at 15 s and 4 s, respectively. Shot 25 may have had better focus at 1 s. It probably doesn’t matter on the 15 s shot, where the long exposure will probably burn in the crescent so much that a sharp focus wouldn’t matter. The camera was on shutter priority and probably chose something like a 5.6 f-stop.
I’ve never been good at keeping notes on this sort of shot. Maybe if i start NOW i’ll be able to eventually reproduce a success.
