Misty, cloudy, cold night. I set out to image from Orion to the Pleiades but changed plans as the clouds rolled through.
Orion, Re-Processed
Re-Processed Farm Barn and Milky Way
Orion
Quick study, excited to get this off the camera and do a quick processing on it. I have more images to process, stack, stretch – but this is my first of Orion, right from Burlington, VT this morning.

Orion and Pleiades
The moon was just above the horizon but with an upcoming hiking / camping trip I wanted to make sure I was comfortable with the Canon 6dmk2 and Sigma 35 on my Vixen Polarie for some night sky imaging I’ve been planning. I shot from a park in the north end of Burlington, VT – with the lights from town and glow from the Moon I wasn’t expecting much – but have been pleasantly surprised.
5 light frames stacked by Starry Sky Stacker 1.1.3. Algorithm: Median, processed in Lr and Ps.
Milky Way, Lake Lila (re-process)
Slightly re-processed version of the Milky Way over Lake Lila, in the Adirondacks, NY.
Star Trails – Dark
Second edit of my recent star trails image pulling out the lightest of the frames as the sky changed to twilight. Processing this in Photoshop I am using layers and the lighten blending – so the blue hour version drops quite a few stars as the sky brightens and the software stacks the images to create the composite. I like both versions – the darker for the sheer number of stars that have been captured and the lighter version for the play of the lightening sky against the structure of the bridge.
Star Trails into Twilight
