It‘s been too cold and cloudy every night, for taking sky shots since we returned home. Tonight was crisp, but stunning clear - with intense blue sky - the crescent moon and Venus as bright as could be to the West, tucked in behind a row of stark maple trees. It was stunning to view with our eyes, but a challenge to capture with regard to focus and choice of blown out objects in order to maintain the tree structures and beautiful sky - or capture detail in the moon against pitch black. So I did a bit of variety, along with turning the camera a bit more northward for the orange on the horizon. I have the camera running for a few hours for a star trail with our trailer in the corner. We’ll see how that comes out.
