Hi,
I scrapped a camping trip to Joshua Tree NP for this year's last chance of shooting the MW photos due to the pandemic and the wildfire disaster. But still can't stop taking the MW shots... So I checked up PhotoPills and Stellarium and saw the image at my place at a time within a narrower window of visibility (~8:00 to 9:30 PM in Oct and 6:00 to 7:00 PM in Nov):
Screenshot:
So I grab my camera and enter my backyard, pointing to SW, and take some shots even can't see the MW with naked eyes at all. This is the original jpg:
Best PP I tried: (MW is there, barely visible in the image)
I would like to hear your opinions and comments on the possibility of shooting better MW images at this place, time, and condition, as well as improving pp. Will take either "possible and how" view or "impossible and why" view. Thanks
