Lovely cloud cover until about 8pm. We have crappy air quality thanks to the 2 fires in the area, so I just closed my windows because my troat started getting scratchy. Even though we have moderate air quality, it is enough to start bothering me. I don’t know if I am going to set-up to get a few shots.

No prize on this one other than first to post. A jpeg nearly as it was saved on my Z5. No tracking telescope mount and kind of slow exposure with the ISO cranked up high. I could not get a spot where Polaris was visible and a tree not blocking my view of the moon.

My attempts were pretty bad. We had 2 fires in the area with lots of haze coming from the Laguna fire blowing into the area. The shooting conditions were terrible.

Stacked about 55 images in SIRIL. Taken from tripod with Z5, Sigma 150-600mm C, various exposure settings in the individual images.
