Clear skies of January

The winter months are known to have clear skies with lots of stars. The below shot is what I have always wanted to shoot when I get the Canon 70-200mm f2.8L IS USM. With a teleconvertor of 2X and on my cropped sensor Canon 7D, I can achieve 640mm! Finally my childhood dreams of a telescope and I can actually capture it! Though it cost quite a lot...to have that lens and camera body, it was well worth it.


Though I had to walked opposite my place to capture the moon around midnight, I can have the convenience of shooting at home  when it approaches my balcony around 4-5am...Hope I can indulge in more night astronomy shots soon.
