The remaining trails were from stars from the Scorpius and various lesser constellations. The brightest trail, seen in the lower left quadrant, belonged to Venus. The trails appear to be circling around this point. The South Celestial Pole was located out-of-frame, beyond the top right corner. Reflections from the lights were reaching the camera from much larger areas than would be the case if the lake surface had been still. The apparent spread of these reflections was a consequence of the gentle breeze that was generating ripples. Reflections of the building and street lights were recoding in the long exposure photograph, and they covered a broad areas of the lake surface. The prominent red light was on top of a crane being used in the ongoing building activities. The star trails in the shot are "anchored" by the view of the buildings in the Kingston Foreshore development that line the edge of Lake Burley Griffin. If nothing else, I have used the shot to provide the opportunity to post various notes on the gear used, the protocol used when shooting, and the post-processing carried out. On this morning, I packed up and walked away well short of this, but trying to convince myself that the shot could still be worth posting. In a developed area such as this, clouds reflect the ambient light from things on the ground, and this light can wash out any other features in the sky region of a long exposure photograph.įor several weeks now, I have been fine tuning my procedures and looking for an opportunity to get a shot with a minimum exposure length of 90 minutes or so. There was scattered cloud cover, and after 33 minutes, I had to terminate the exposure so as to avoid having the view of the celestial objects obscured by the light associated with an approaching bank of thick clouds. InternetExplorer 'CreateObject("InternetExplorer.I will call this a (relatively) short "test shot" of some star and planet trails.

#Iexplorer code 2016 64 Bit
I have Win7 Enterprise on 64 bit architecture, Office 2016 and IE.18837 When I then manually kill iexplorer.exe process in task manager, and only then, the code starts working again and saying that iexplorer istance is not linked to code. I verified that, when the hang happens, the IE webpage is crashed and not responding (recover webpage message) and when I'm able to enter the debug of VBA code, if I press F8 to continue, it simply doesn't go to the next line (the breakpoint is on the line I check the second elapsed in the loop and after 20 seconds I quit the IE application, kill all the IE processes and retry I use DoEvents and Sleep 200 in the busy/readystate loops I open and quit IExplorer Application for each single iteration of the loop The code works perfectly, but after hundreds of iterations, it stops working and Access/VBA becomes irresponsive I check IE busy and readystate before proceeding with data retrieval from inner/outer-TEXT/HTML page and before clicking on button/links I've implemented a loop over the data I have in MAccess and then for each record I need to navigate a webpage

Given the point before, I'm forced to use InternetExplorer Application (cannot use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP) I need to navigate the links and then click buttons or fill information in forms I created a VBA code written in Access to loop over a list of more than 5000 weblinks.
