Thanks. I’ll have to figure that out. I think there is a way in Luminar too.

Thank you! The night sky here is spectacular.

Thank you! I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks. It’s easy to over-do the AI.

Thanks! 1st attempts.

Here are some Milky Way photos from Aug 18. Critique welcome. Novice photographer. First attempts at Milky Way.

Sony a7iii Tamron 17-28mm. Tripod. Wired remote. Lightly edited in Luminar 4.

I don't know if these are any good or not. I can lighten to an almost daylight look, but that seems unnatural.

Prefer 1370 or 1371?

Thanks for looking.

A lucky shot? I turned it Black and White because the house has a bright light on.

I am an amateur and don't know if these are any good or not! I'd welcome feedback and suggestions. All taken with Sony a7iii and Tamron 150-500mm on tripod with wire remote. From my patio in Salida, Colorado.

Note dates on photos: I think the best one is from Aug 2, an earlier super moon. One is from Aug 31 in the morning, as the moon was setting. I know the moon is blown out in 2 shots. I do minimal editing in Luminar 4 (no Lightroom). I don't focus stack or combine photos. I have not figured out masking yet. I had trouble focusing on Aug 31 at night. I think DSC1408(2) is too dark and over-processed with too much detail... Thanks for looking!

Yes. There are sooo many! I’ll see if I can relink that way. Thx. Just do not understand how they all disappeared.

Also—I mis-wrote. Skylum does support Luminar 4. I am having trouble with Corel Video Studio too and they no longer support 2020 version. Want me to buy 2023 now. I may try DaVinci Resolve instead.

That’s what I should have done! Will check it out. Thx.

I was trying to merge Luminar 3 catalog and Luminar 4 catalog. Now I have neither! I can find Luminar 4 catalog on my hard drive, but there is nothing there. No Luminar 3 listed now. I do not know what the triangle with ! is---believe Luminar has lost location of folder when I unplugged external hard drive. But plugged back in...still no connection. I had hundreds of folders in Luminar 4 Library column on right. Now only a random 2-4 show up, some grayed out. Cannot find any online help. comment from Luminar Support was brief and I did not understand. Now I have fewer folders than when I contacted them 2 days ago. And I believe they "no longer support Luminar 4." I am truly lost and very frustrated. No idea why this happened. I have used Lumiinar 4 successfully for several year. I bought Neo but have not had space to install it. Do not have A1/AI. Attaching screenshots of Catalog and Luminar 4 screen. Virtually no folders on right side. I am afraid to uninstall....but would that work? Thanks for any help! (seriously thinking of moving to Lightroom!!!)

Thank you! Enjoying our new home in the mountains. Never thought we’d be living in a town of 7000 after years in metro Detroit!

Nice! Idaho is beautiful too. We are from MI. 6 yrs in Littleton. Then daughter and grands moved to Salida so we did too. Enjoy it very much. Nice town. Gorgeous area. Should be lots of photographers! I have only met 2—both over 80. 1 still active with her photography so I’ll partner with her if I can.

Yes, anyone would be welcome of course! Beautiful drive to Canon City too. Do you live there?
I love O’Haver Lake. Want to do that drive to Sargent when the aspens turn. And then stop for elk meatloaf in Sargent!

I am a hobbiest photographer looking to join or create a photo community near beautiful Salida, Colorado. I enjoyed a great photo club in Littleton and would love to find folks interested in meeting to shoot together and learn from each other here in my new rural mountain hometown area. .
