   trying out a new telephoto (refurb Sigma brand) 800mm Astro Lens by using an old Canon T5. I might buy a bridge camera at this point. I got this lens for 150 bucks but it was like 1900 brand new. some Sigma's go for like $4500 and up in price.
   
   Also I got it cheap because it doesn't have an auto focus. its all manual and my eyes are far-sighted.
   
   but I got some decent photos.
   
   South span of the GG bridge and Fort Point (under that arch) Army base built in 1860 pre- Civil War. (North) protecting Gold being mine in California.
   
   its hot so a lot of solar distortion but it's clear today too. usually foggy.

   Also the Bridge is about 11-12 miles away
   
   San Francisco is about 8-10
   
   the tip of Angel Island with people walking around
   
   (Angle Island was a Japanese Internment camp during WWII and before that was our Ellis Island during the 1800s. Its the largest Island in the bay)

   Alcatraz with SF in the background
   
   they're about 1.2 mile apart but the focal range makes it look like they're right next to one another

   I should go up on the roof. I hate those fucking things. all of these old houses in El Cerrito and Richmond (4 cities come together, Berkeley and Albany too) with these old shitty power lines. just run them all underground. they bring down property value too in most cities but not here because of high demand for housing
