Re: McMilky McWay redux

I agree that is the best policy. In my post in question, however, I was not addressing anything in the image, but only the use of "helluva" to describe an image of the heavens. It was simply a feeble attempt at unrelated humor. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery

No, it is more like a heavenly shot instead of a "helluva" shot. Dan Matyola *https://tinyurl.com/DJM-Pentax-Gallery * On Wed, Mar 2, 2022 at 3:22 PM Mark C wrote: > That is one helluva shot! > > Mark > > -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To

You could google for "dark sky maps" to find out where there might be a place with the least amount of light pollution near you. On 2/28/2022 3:32 AM, Toine wrote: Ok thanks, so no stacking. Never managed to capture the milky way due to (probably) light pollution. Should give it another try.

McMilky McWay redux

A friend wants to buy a print of my night time panorama of McWay falls. She, however, did not want the moonset in it, so I started by building a panorama that had all the frames that didn’t have (much of) the moonset, and processed it using lightroom 11, rather than 6. We then discussed what
