Let’s have a little photo fun while we’re locked down

I tried my hand at a little astro photography a couple weeks ago. No moon, no clouds, and a few good stars :)

This stuff is really hard for me. I stayed up into the wee hours on several nights, took gigs and gigs of photos - aligning, stacking, tone mapping, yadda, yadda, yadda. After all of that, I got one shot that wasn't garbage:

Tried some time-lapse of the Milky Way rising. Those kinda worked, but even shooting RAW on manual WB, I still got really annoying color shifts thru the set. Here's the best I could come up with:


Other than this, I got several bad photos of the NEOWISE comet, and tried a time lapse and a 'stack' of the Perseid meteor shower. I might try re-processing the meteor shower photos and see if I can coax out at least one keeper frame from that...

This stuff is both really fun and really annoying :)
