Description

Some nights the wind blows so hard you know your mount is not going to track well.  We had a strong 20-25 mph wind and it had been a while since I was able to capture anything .  I had been thinking about this shot as I watched Ursa Major creep up higher in the sky with spring approaching.  This night it fit nicely in the Loblolly pine trees that surround my home.    I used an unfiltered Canon EOS R (unmodded) with a EF 24-105 f/4L lens at 24 mm and f/4, ISO was 500 and exposure was 10 secs.  Processing in Photoshop including contrast adjustments to stars.
