I’m not the best at astrophotography, but I really dig it and I’m working on getting better.

I was hoping to get some more shots on my trip but I had to leave early due to wolves crowding entirely too close (within 50 yards and less than 10 when I hopped into my car) while I was taking my shots.

I have a version of this that’s 9x20 compared to this one’s 9x16. It has a bit more ground so it fits better as a phone wallpaper compared to this one IMO.

Edit: Mt Adams is the little bump in the bottom left of you’re curious.

      For this one I was using my Lumix G9 with a Laowa 7.5mm f/2.0 lens wide open. I’ve also got a cheap little wireless shutter switch that I used for added stability when starting the shots. It was also hooked to a cheap janky tripod with a weight on the bottom.

      This is a composite of about 20 10 second exposures due to me wanting to avoid star trails this time.

      I was planning to take quite a bit more long exposures to get some some star trail shots (and some other kinds of shots) as well but I had to leave the spot earlier than I wanted.

      Someday I’d like to get a star tracker for some crazy shots but damn are those expensive.
