Historic Comstock Covered Bridge gone…for now.

October 24, 2010 by CtCameraEye 1 Comment

One of the most popular spots for Connecticut leaf peepers is the Comstock Covered Bridge in East Hampton/Colchester. This year they will be dissapointed. Sure, there is a great show of color on the trees, and the Salmon River is still flowing, but the bridge is gone. The bridge which is owned by the State Of Connecticut will be repaired, updated, and returned to as close … [Read more...]

Looking for leaves, finding dinosaur tracks

October 16, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

A perfect day for leaf peeping in Connecticut yeilded more than a few frames of fall foliage in my camera. A never disappointing area to observe great autumn colors, and have maybe an apple fritter or two, is in Middlefield, Connecticut around the Lyman Orchards area. Rolling hills, acres of ripe apples, and squeals of children and adults as they pick their pumpkin for the … [Read more...]

Lunar transit captured – Aircraft in front of the moon

October 13, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

I have been trying to capture this lunar transit for a number of years, and unexpentantly I managed to capture it tonight without any warning. While looking at the moon at the town green in Marlborough, Ct  I saw a number of aircraft flying near the moon at about 7:00pm. Just by chance I took out my camera and had it ready in case a plane did fly across the first quarter … [Read more...]

M33 autumn image gets some serious television time

October 11, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

It was a surprise this morning when I got into work and saw Rachel Frank, one of our FOXCT meteorolgists showing my colorful autumn image of M33 the Triangulum Galaxy during her weather segment. Nobody on the morning show knew what a M33 was, never mind it was in the constellation of Trianglulum. Without missing a beat, Rachel explained what it was, and who took the image. Some … [Read more...]

Best yet M31 image in one minute

October 10, 2010 by CtCameraEye 1 Comment

It's been quite a astrophotography weekend (read posts below) starting with comet Hartley 2, a neat shot of the M33 Galaxy in the trees, and now to top it off a personal best of M31 in a single one minute exposure. This time taken with a 300mm lens at f/4 at 3200 iso. Three nights of great weather and great skies. I love the fall! … [Read more...]

M33 and autumn colors

October 10, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

After finally getting an image of comet Hartley 2 that I liked, I had some rare astronomy time to explore the skies. Using my pair of 20x80 bino's I spotted a smudge of light in between some branches of an oak tree next to my house. Upon further exploration I found it to be M33 the Triangulum Galaxy at a magnitude of about 6.3. Putting on a 300mm lens on my camera I took … [Read more...]

Comet Hartley 2 and friends

October 10, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

This was the third and best attempt yet at getting a nice image of Comet Hartley. Fighting a new neighbors flood lights that they had left on (yikes, what a surprise), a spotlight revolving through the sky from the Portland Fair 10 miles away, and busy air traffic, I managed to get a pretty nice shot. Just rising above the trees, past it's friends, the double cluster in … [Read more...]

Capturing Comet Hartly 2

October 8, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

Take a comet called Hartley 2 (103P/Hartley), and 2 clusters of stars in Perseus and what do you get? You get a recipe for a great astro photograph. That's what I caught tonight when I went out to capture the comet that was originally discovered in 1986. Discoverd by astronomer Malcolm Hartley in Australia, it has an orbital period of a mere 6.46 years. Here's what I … [Read more...]

Alma, New Brunswick, Home of the High Tide

October 5, 2010 by CtCameraEye Leave a Comment

A quaint village in New Brunswick, Canada called Alma is the home of the world's highest tides. Twice a day the waters from the Bay of Fundy rush into it's port, to yet again raise the water level up 40 feet so it's colorful fishing fleet can set sail. With a estimated population in 2010 of just over 300 tourists flock to Alma to see the tides change, and to walk out on to … [Read more...]
