Stars with wide angle lens

Fisheye and wide angle views of starry sky

Images of starry sky with wide angle lenses using drive. Most fisheye and wideangle images of constellations are pretty boring. It is only Milkyway with its red nebulas that provide some motivation to use these lenses. On the other hand when hunting for meteors then these lenses are the centerpiece; a lot of bulk material is then accumulated. One purpose of these images is to help to locate some common nebulas. Note faint greenish aurora in image tl03433 very deep in south western horizon.
It has appeared here that a fisheye image on a fine grain film becomes very fuzzy if resolution 300x450 is used. When this section is updated resolution will be increased.
Being out alone, in the night, in the middle of forrest, on top of a rock, under starry sky is something a Finnish man must like. One usually manages best with himself; no need to excess small talk and empty words. It must also be universal that when man sees far away, he or she feels good. It may be a feeling of finding way to get control of his surroundings by seeing what is going on. It is also strange, how my vision like switches off under night sky and hearing takes the role of major sensor. All sounds become exaggerately meaningful until something "exceptional" happens in the starry sky (meteor...). When this takes place, vision immediately turns on again and starts actively gather information. This kind of switch may originate from ancient times, when in darkness to survive you had to hear beasts...
