I had great conditions Wednesday night for some astrophotography. I shot 658 frames over a 3-hour period to create a time lapse video. The link to the video is in the comments. #photography #astrophotography #stars #Colorado #nightskyphotography #photographersofbluesky #nightsky #starry #milkyway
Milky Way in the Colorado mountains. I set up two cameras, one with my MSM Nomad tracker and one to continuously shoot so I could make a time lapse video. The link to the video is in the comments. It contains 658 images taken over a 3-hour period and shot at ISO 6400, f/3.5 and 15 seconds with my Canon 5DIV and Tamron 15-30 G2.

Dug this one out of the archives for a re-edit. Ancient bristlecone pine, star trails and Aurora. This was my first time photographing the Aurora, and it was a complete surprise. #photography #astrophotography #stars #Colorado #nightskyphotography #photographersofbluesky #nightsky #starry #aurora
