It is not as hard as you might think LR does a great job_ 6 vertical shots overlapping about 25% @ 25 seconds f/2.8 iso 2500- then use LR to stitch the 6 shots together then process however you like
went out at 1AM spent a couple hours getting some good shots - it was so quiet and pleasant down the edge on the Sunset Point overlook - trying out a new method of taking MW shots getting sharper stars

great shots - tried to go there the other day but another tourist had fallen over the edge and they were recovering the body - I guess this makes the 2nd person in less than a month - too bad that such a beautiful place has seen such tragedy recently
it is that time of year when the decorative (non native) cactus put out large night blooms - here are a couple from our RV park - 2 different types with such big flowers

this cactus wren was diligently building a nest - however a big dove and curved bill Thrasher sat down on it and it got flattened - glad I got the shot before the nest was destroyed

these are very different animals - a funny stretching nose , 3 toes on the feet , canine type teeth and supposed to be related to horses -

during the day they hang out under these leaves - we saw some flying around at night but impossible to photograph much too fast and small - and I did not shine a bright light the guide used a very low light flash light to point it out -
this large "leaf" bug was so interesting if he had not been on a green leaf we would have never seen it
