Hey! I was shooting a timelapse of the Milky Way that night and seems I have something similar. An object that doesn’t move with other stars. How visible is this thing? Can it be captured on an astromodified dslr and fairly wide lens (24mm)? Sorry I know it’s a long shot lol

The stars had all night to leave their mark—and they did.
Swipe to see the full story: layers of color, motion, and silence written across the sky and mirrored on still water. A single frame, hundreds of moments.

A parliament as powerful as the current regime’s parliament! You know, there are currently elections for presidency and parliament, and also “assembly of experts”! But the problem is you can’t be a candidate for them if you’re not approved by another assembly! Such a beautiful democracy 😂

I get your point. The current regime is the worst. Maybe a few other governments have been able to ruin a country and its region this bad. That still doesn’t make Shah’s government a liberal democracy. It was a dictatorship and a good one that everyone’s missing 😜

Was it much better than this for Iran and the world? 100%. Was it liberal democracy? Are you ducking kidding me? Read! 😂

Then, just as quickly, it was gone.

And that was enough. That made the trip.

100-500mm at 500mm, even my star tracker to follow the sun if it played hide and seek.
And then, at 8:15 AM—after all the effort, the risks, and the uncertainty—the sky showed mercy. The eclipsed sun appeared for less than two minutes, dark clouds framing it, a lone seagull soaring across the scene.

4 AM wake-up. Another snowstorm on the way down. But just a few kilometers from Ferryland? The snow stopped. No clear skies—just thick, stubborn clouds. First stop: the bay, hoping for a break at sunrise. Nothing. So I headed to my planned spot, lighthouse in the distance, set up my gear—R5 +

But nature had other plans. The forecast wasn’t promising. A complete whiteout on my scouting trip the night before—zero visibility, winding roads, one of the worst drives I’ve ever had. But there was a chance (5% to be exact) that Ferryland might escape the snow during the eclipse. That was enough

The eclipse started right after sunrise, peaked at 7:51 AM (82.1%), and ended by 8:50 AM. These low-horizon eclipses are something else, allowing for creative compositions with landscapes and structures. And in Toronto? Impossible to see. The further east, the better.

A journey, a risk, and a two-minute reward.

I traveled all the way to Newfoundland for this—a rare partial solar eclipse, perfectly aligning with the historic Ferryland Lighthouse. An opportunity that wouldn’t come again.

Shot on the Canon R5 + RF 100-500mm, tracked on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i. Because if the universe puts on a show, might as well film it properly.

1,738 tracked shots, 5-second intervals, stabilized in DaVinci Resolve, and now the eclipse unfolds frame by frame. The Moon stays locked dead center while the shadow comes and goes. A whole celestial event in one smooth motion.

“Totality in Motion—Sort Of”

Remember that lunar eclipse shot? This time, it’s moving—well, everything except the Moon.

Shot on the Canon R5 with the RF 100-500mm, tracked on the Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer 2i to keep things sharp. Also, for the upcoming delicious Timelapse!

Gotta love it when the sky puts on a show.

“Totality in Focus”

Earth threw its shadow, and the Moon turned blood red. A total lunar eclipse, caught at its peak.

4 photos, no darks, captured last year on my then non-astromodded #canon 6D + #sigma 14mm f/1.8, stacked in #sequator
#MilkyWay #Astrophotography #EditingJourney #ProgressNotPerfection #StarsGazeBack #canoncanada

One year of editing growth, captured under the same stars.
First: Tonight’s attempt.
Second: My Milky Way edit from last year.
The real question: Can you see the improvement? Or should I stick to my day job?
Roast me, cheer me, or just tell me which one you like better-I can take it! Let’s hear it.

Thank you. Spikes are done in post.

Two hours of shooting, then straight back—just in time to beat rush hour. No sleep, straight to work. Worth it? Absolutely.

Still, patience paid off. After 5:50, the sky gave us a glimpse—just enough to catch part of the Milky Way core. Rochester’s light pollution was still a challenge, but the real magic happened when Scorpius rose. Seeing it alongside the partial Milky Way core made the effort worth it.

The Milky Way was set to rise at 5:35 AM, with twilight creeping in by 5:50. A tight 15-minute window for a perfect shot. Clouds had other plans. They didn’t fully coat the sky, but they sure got in the way.

Chasing the Milky Way, Fighting the Clouds

Left home at 3 AM, chasing a forecast that promised clear (but windy) skies. Drove east for 1.5 hours, hoping for darkness. What we got? Wind, alright… but no clear skies.
