Description

Shot in one setting of (21) 10-minute exposures. I think I'd have to say this is my favorite object I've imaged so far.

When I look at this I see a close-up of a baby alien's face with smoke coming out of the top of his head. I've been referring to him as hot-head.

I was pleased that out of the 24 10-minute sub frames I took, I was able to use 21.
