Hello all. It's been awhile!
Last week, the Mrs. PR and I went out to do a little astrophotography at a place we frequented a lot in the past. I doubt most of you would find much of our photos from the trip particularly interesting, but I did get one at the end of the night that I thought I'd share.
It was an afterthought while we were packing up to head back to the farmstead for the night but hopefully you can forgive me for not posing the car a little better. The streak at the top of the image is a small shooting star and the fuzzy object in the upper right quadrant is the Andromeda Galaxy. Slightly above the trees near the center, the Perseus double cluster is rising.
Canon T3i, Rokinon 16mm aespherical lens, f/2.0 @ ISO 1600, 20sec. Some lighting is from a flashlight, but most is from a waxing crescent moon. All post processing done with the canned RAW image processing program.
