This is Tony, one of the members of our club setting up one of his telescopes for the observing session for the Long Island Cares benefit. Believe it or not, it was completely dark out and I was walking around with my camera set on 12,800 for the digital sensitivity and my 50mm f/1.4 lens. I was stunned to discover, as you saw the other day, my photo of a mother and daughter looking through my telescope, that I can actually take photos in the dark with my SONY camera! Tony was easy to see and photograph because he left his car running so he could make use of his red running lights to give him enough light to see by to set up his telescope. I love that the all red scene makes the photo jump out!
Another photograph in the dark, seriously, of three Long Island Cares people who were at the event. This is near the end of our observing because the clouds had moved in. We got a really good turnout and because of that, everyone looks really happy. Fortunately they all got to see the moon before it clouded over. I know this photograph looks like daylight, but I promise you it was completely dark out!

I think it is terrific that Long Island Cares puts on these events for people. It is so exciting! Can’t believe the photo is in the dark!!!
