Description

A few more steps down the road on my astrophotography journey.  First time imaging at a dark site, first time trying HDR techiques and my first time shooting and composing a mosaic, even if it is a small one. 

Still more to do I think to get HDR right and bring out an even wider range of natural detail.  Nevertheless working through this attempt was fun.

I wasn't sure what to image on the one night available to me with clear skies but glad I ended up choosing Carina.

2 panel mosaic, 110 min on each.  Each panel consists of:
  • 40 x 30s
  • 30 x 60s, and
  • 30 x 120s.

Imaged before the moon rose.  Circa Bortle 2 dark site.  Don't know for sure.  The sky quality software on my iPhone would only tell me the sky was too dark!
