Star Photography

Decided to take pictures at night, in the middle of no where away from my town, as the light pollution where I live is too bright. This is my first time doing star photography. Or any night stuff for that matter.

I think I barely captured the milky way in this photo. The light from the city I drove away from is producing light, causing an obstruction.


The resolution is lower on this image which is why it looks worse than the one above. I caught a shooting star.

God damn where did you take these pictures?
The sky is so clear.

The sky in those photos just look amazing, you can't find anything that beautiful around here.

Holy shit man you could do magazine photography. Good location as well on that. I'd love to see a 360 shot :O

I live in Texas. There are places here where you can see the stars clearly. Luckly, I live in a small town and there's places nearby with little light pollution. With the naked eye, there were many stars, but definitely not as much as the camera picked up lol. I miraculously captured the Milky Way by luck. But sadly my dumb town's light obstructed it. I also made sure that the moon wasn't out, and that the sky was clear.

Yeah that would be amazing. You can take a photo and not edit it and the photo will pick up all the stars. Hell, you could probably see the milky way with your naked eye.

My photos I had to slighty edit it for the extra stars that were hiding to pop out.
