Robert's Ramblings

I loved a moment in the opening scenes of the movie 'Contact' with Jodie Foster; quoting Ellie's Dad; "Small moves, Ellie, small moves".

With my very own small moves I'm exploring a direction of photography which has always inspired me, amazed me and humbled me, our incredible night sky.

Following the first steps of many astro-photographers my first deep sky project is to create a half decent image of the Orion Nebula. Well this is not it!

This is however the first image I am willing to show of my progress captured from my own backyard into a suburban light polluted sky.
