I’ll preface this by saying I’m a wildlife photographer and have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to Astro work.I know I still have a bunch to learn and I’m sure to most these photos aren’t fantastic but I’m quite happy with them for my first time and practice definitely makes perfect so I’ll keep getting out there when I can.

The first thing I noticed when getting them back into Lightroom (idk if that’s even the best program to be using) was the foreground was either out of focus or very mushy looking. But nonetheless I still had a great time and I’m glad I gave it shot, definitely a very rewarding form of photography.

Shot on Sony A1 with 16-35gm

20 second exposure
F/2.8
ISO 6400
