November 2025

 

November 1st 2215 GMT Meteor Hunt

 

I set a camera trap for Taurid meteors with my DSLR camera set to take photos automatically at 18mm focal length, ISO 6400 and 6 seconds exposure.

I stacked 10 images tom show the constellations of Taurus and Auriga.

I did not catch any meteors.

I also did a phone camera shot of the moon with Saturn.

November 1st 1910 GMT Moon and Saturn

 

The moon and Saturn were close in the sky. I photographed the moon with my DSLR camera at 300mm focal length, ISO 100 and 1/800 second exposure. This did not work, as the image was out of focus.

I used 70mm focal length, ISO 6400 and 1/15 second exposure to capture both objects together.

November 1st 0840 GMT Sun 

I do not normally associate November with solar viewing and photography. Yet, I woke up to clear sky and photographed the Sun with my Mak telescope and DSLR camera at 1.54m focal length, ISO 100 and 1/500 second exposure, my usual settings.
