Photograph at approximately 11:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 6, 2002, looking northwest. This is my first attempt ever at photographing the night sky using a tripod with an equatorial mount and motor drive. I did my best to make accurate descriptions of what is in the night sky. Photo details: Fuji Superia 800 print film; 28 mm Pentax lens; 4.0 aperature; and three minute exposure. |

The constellation Orion in the background. The windmill is lit up by headlights on my vehicle. I know that I have a lot of photographs of two windmills on this web site. However, when you take photographs on the prairie, there are few items to use as foreground objects - some trees (mostly in planted shelterbelts), transmission towers, fences, buildings on the farm, some buttes, and that's about it. Guess I could purchase a plastic deer or coyote and set it up somewhere to take photographs - not! |

The constellation Cassiopeia almost directly overhead. |
