Very nice! I’ve always used long exposure for Astro photography, but it wasn’t until literally last week that I started trying it out with aviation. And so, I have a new love for these types of pics.

bonus

In the less light polluted upstate New York, when I visited my grandpa for Easter I was able to get some good shots. Was out there to see the meteor shower, and the area in the sky where it occurs wasn’t above me until 4 am.

Now I feel craziest

Went out there, felt safe, I was alone except for my grandpa’s cat… who started screaming.. I shined my flashlight and there was a pack of coyotes… I ran and didn’t look back lol.

Is that dust on the sensor/lense between the blue and red lights on that 2nd picture?
