The Summer Triangle
With summer pretty much at my door step the summer triangle is the first thing I think of in terms of astrophotography. Over the winter there have been some additions to my kit bag, an EOS 7D (review on low noise is in Draft), a Leica/Leitz Apo-Telyt 180mm f3.4 & a Nikon 50mm f1.2 AIs. I hope to get some good images – especially from the Leitz Apo-Telyt it was originally built for the US Navy as a reconnaissance telephoto lens.
Back to the summer triangle.
