Nerd alert! Got the mount working

Two minutes and no trails :

Ten minutes and I got tree trails lol:

 

[bhamv3]

I was all like, "Wait, what? The trees are moving? Where are you taking these pictures, Fangorn Forest?"

And then I remembered this nifty new invention called "wind".

 

[Squidleybits]

I have my camera on an equatorial mount and it's being moved to prevent star trails so I can take super long exposures. Ten minutes it would seem is too long for a picture with landscape.

 

[bhamv3]

Oh... that's even cooler!

 

[sixpackshaker]

Get one north star swirl please.

 

[PatrThom]

You need to try somewhere that doesn't have ground effects to blur/reflect.

Totally! We're off to some cottages near a national park that should be totally dark this weekend. I just wanted to practice setting it up.

 

[Squidleybits]

Evil clouds!

 

[Squidleybits]

More Sneaky clouds!

Ooh that's a pretty one. The contrasting colors are nice.

Those night sky pics make want to shoot my neighbors' security lights. I live 10 miles outside of a small town. There should be no light polution and yet I can't do any amateur astronomy due to my idiot neighbors.

Second pic has been yoinked for my desktop background here at work.

I tried to take some last night. There were no clouds but my lens froze

YOU HEATHEN!!!

You are supposed to drink wine from a SOLO Cup.

 

[Emrys]

Well, he is a hobo.

 

[GasBandit]

At least it's not Bailey's from a shoe.

 

[Squidleybits]

Is this where I point out he packed rum in a moccasin?

 

[Squidleybits]

My lens got too cold and frosted over on our last night there and I didn't notice until it was too late. Most of my pictures weren't salvageable. This was one of the tests shots that I took at a super high iso.

That's a beautiful photo, but I don't understand "frosted over" and "May".

 

[DarkAudit]

Stupid laggy firefox. I certainly didn't mean to hit disagree. No way no how.

Dude. There is snow on the ground in Superior, and the lake of the same name is frozen.

AND IT SNOWED HERE TUESDAY MORNING.

Of course not. That's Sunday drinkin'.

Here is another one that I have edited and cropped to avoid power lines etc etc

This is about as far in as I can zoom (from a picture using my 14mm) before things get too mushy:

Had to play with it. It came out a little bluer than I wanted, but it also came out a lot less yellow.

There was a lot more light pollution than I would have expected there and there was more orange and yellow in the first picture than I like. In the second picture I turned it red.

She's seeing a Camaro behind your back???

Unfortunately, she brought it home. I'm hoping it's just a phase, but I fear she's going to be riding it every day

My wife is having a midlife crisis..

Plot twist: he's married to the car, who is now seeing another woman behind his back.

I promise if you send me an original or two, I will try to be very nice to them.
