Description

This was taken out at the Devils River State Natural Area in Texas, during a New Moon weekend. Decided to try my hand at getting the entire constellation of Orion this time. I put my unmodified sony a6600 with 18-135mm kit lens on a move shoot move and took 30s exposures. I tried to take a couple of hours of data, but apparently it was cold enough that it interfered with my intervalometer and I only ended up with around 45min of 30s shots and a 1000+ 2s to 9s shots on my sd card. I also took 5min worth of data using a star glow filter to get the constellation to really pop. I included my initial 1-min edit as a revision (ABE, EZ Stretch, Curves, Google Photos edits). This is still a work in progress, because the crazy star density wreaks havoc with the processing.
