Star photography W the TG-6

Hello folks well I'm out here at a local lake to get away from the majority of the light pollution.  I'm still contending with it, but not as bad as i thought it would be.  I will post the photos later.

I also wanted to say thank you to the person who posted about their experiences with taking star light photos.

I am gearing up for my Montana Trip in September. My flies are all tied, and I just need to learn more about the capabilities of my TG-6.

Well, me being a total greenhorn at this lol I did not bring tonight with me my clear lens. I only had my polarized lens on me. I will do this all again tonight. I will go to the same spot to see what the differences are.

I welcome all feedback for I am just learning this stuff!

I hope you folks like the photos.

Be well,

Sonder

Went to a Dark Park and was happy to get better results, but light pollution was still an issue. I would have taken more but other people there were not being mindful with their white lights!!!
