Back Side of the Milky Way - TRNP

[JimFox]

TRNP = Theodore Roosevelt National Park if you are like me, you didn't know that. It's a really cool National Park in North Dakota. I had a timelapse aimed South to capture the core of the Milky Way, this one was aimed North to capture the back side of the Milky Way and the stars rotating around Polaris.

Part way through the dew level caused dew to form on my camera lens causing it to look like fog. Not sure how much I like that, but it is what happened, so I am posting this one to see what others think.

I like it up to and after the dew.

Thanks Ben, that's kind of my thought too. Not sure I can get rid of that section without it making it feel like a section was cut out and is missing though.

And the problem with doing Milky Way timelapses up further North like that, is that the nights are shorter so the timelapse gets short. I don't want them too short.

Nice.

You could always go back and repeat this timelapse exercise in mid December if you want longer nights. It would be sooooo toasty up there for an all-nighter

Ha ha, thanks Alan!

The problem with December is there wouldn't be any Milky Way. But from a pure star standpoint, I agree the December would be great!
