Posted By August R. Orlandi
On our way down to the Winter Star Party we stopped off at Viera Wet Lands
which is located in West Melbournd,Fl.
And saw some 137 White Pelicans,which was a 1st for us. We been coming here
for the past 10 years and had never seen a White Pelican an were in Fl.
I think they can down from up North for the winter.
See my other pictures and find out why.

NGC 3372 Eta Carinae

Posted By August R. Orlandi
Photo of Eta Carinae taken at the Winter Star Party with Kodak E-200 film.
The film is about 5 years old. This is a 45 minute exposure with AP 155mm
scope with reducer and field flattener.
This is the raw scan. Will post one that's adjusted slightly.

NGC 7000 North American Nebula

Posted By August R. Orlandi
This was taken at the Bootleg Astronomy Star Party back in May 30,2014.
The star party was located in Green River State Wildlife Area located
near Harmon,Il.
This was a 45 minute exposure on Kodak E-200 Film,with a Pentax 6X7 camera,
Astro Physics 155mm scope with field flattener and reducer on a 900 mount.
There was some guiding errors or tracking error from what I don't know.
The 1st one is adjusted darken and more contrast.
The 2nd one is the original scan
