Description

This one gave me a lot of trouble. It seemed very bright so I experimented with different exposure durations over multiple nights and eventually decided 300s worked out best. I had wind and a bright moon to contend with and one of the shortest nights of the year as this was done less than two weeks after the summer solstice.
