wpo - carbon & other stars in extreme c o l o u r

 Solar system page  clockdrive tracker

2006 Feb:  These are some experimental shots via my Canon Rebel DSLR [left] with various focal length lenses of Carbon Star which record as bright orange or red [latter particularly so for R Lep - Hinds Crimsom Star] and are referenced from The Belmont Soc carbon stars.  More here and here.
To highlight the colour better each image is post defocused [blurred] and contrast stretched to recover the now faint image.
