Camera and Tripod

March 2013: I have been taking some pictures with my Canon T2i DSLR camera and an old manual lens FD 35-105mm zoom. It took some searching on-line to find an adapter that would let me join a 25 year old lens to a 2 year old camera... Amazon.ca saved the day!
I was able to get a couple pictures of Comet PanSTARRS in mid March, before it became to dim to capture. (A car zoomed by in the second frame).
The picture of my favourite constellation "Orion" is ten 15 second long frames stacked, ISO 800. Orion stands (from top to bottom stars) about 890 light years tall. The top left bright star "Betelgeuse", if placed where our sun is, would reach past the orbit of Jupiter, thus consuming the orbits of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter!
God challenged Job by reminding him that He is in control! - God said:
        "Can you direct the movement of the stars, binding the cluster of the Pleiades or loosening the cords of Orion?" Job 38:31 (NLT)
My response would be..."ummm, no... ok God, you're in control! Sorry for doubting you - Big Guy!"
I also included a quick 1/3 second shot of the cloud covered moon.
