Wow the framing is perfect, it includes the outer nebulae! You really need to get some RGB, you still have time!!

Comet C/2013 A1 Siding Spring up close on November 16th, 23:04ut. This comet has gone through many outburst ( Brighteing ) events in the last three weeks and it looks like its going to another one. Very interesting and something to watch if possible as it gets lower and towards sunset.

Autumn Moonrise thru the Covered Bridge

Autumn Moonrise thru the Covered Bridge by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

Hunsecker’s Mill Bridge is a covered bridge that holds the record for the longest single span in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The wooden bridge was originally built in 1848 and rebuilt in 1973 following hurricane damage. Using Stellarium and some good ole’ fashion trigonometry, the optimal time to photograph the rising full moon through the historic bridge was determined. If you look closely, you can see the familiar “V” pattern of Hyades as well as the Pleiades cluster near the top of the star field.

Leonids over Miyun Reservoir
Copyright: CrB_Nekit The annual Leonid meteor shower fell down on Earth on the night of Nov 17/18. Though its activity has decreased in the past ten years, dozens of flashy green meteors appeared during my five-hour observation and photography this night, at Miyun Reservoir located in the northeastern suburbs of Beijing, China.
This photo is a composite of 15 meteor flashes captured by a lens at 24mm focal length, in 4 hours.

Pleiades Wide Field by Radical Retinoscopy, on Flickr

Fourteen 25 second exposures of the Pleiades open cluster were taken with a Canon T2i. (ISO 800, Canon 100 mm f/2.0 lens @ f/3.2). Tracking was done with an iOptron Sky Tracker and stacked in Nebulosity.
