I am not getting the a77 back till Tuesday. I shot this with the NEX 7 and Sigma 8-16mm. Look close the big dipper is center frame.

Yes that was an easy star challenge, Orion is very recognizable. The NEX7 is controlling the flash expoure quite well.

And here I was thinking I would find a feline smurf when opening this thread

As with your previous images, you've controlled the lighting very well. Nice image!

Very happy to see the series embracing many more vehicle types. : )

You give them a whole different meaning.

Thanks for sharing, Cosmonaut. Looking forward to your future findings....

Thanks all. The a77 is in transit from repair so I have been spending more time with the NEX 7. It is an awesome camera. I really think Sony needs to make some wide angle lenses for it though.

Well done! I like this photo. By the way, that is Orion in the center, not the Big Dipper.

Thanks for the correction Bakubo. I was thinking that was small for the dipper.

Just trying to help. I was just thinking that as a cosmonaut it would be important for you to get to the right place. It might be a big problem to arrive at Orion when you intended to go to the Big Dipper.

Yes a cosmonaut should know better.
