Another Chance at the Milky Way
Jun 5, 2014 20:54:49 #
Had a break in the weather last night so took a few shoots around 4am this morning. I did get up to the Steinhatchee area of Florida over the Memorial Day holidays in hopes of getting some Milky Way photos, but the weather was not in our favor. Probably the darkest area left in Florida. Photography is never a sure thing.

Sweet captures. Someday I'll be in a situation to try that. :-)

I have just recently become fascinated by this kind of photography, and the more I read, the more questions pop up. I really like your photos, but there is something about them I don't understand. Perhaps you can explain. In the download I notice the stars are short streaks, not points like one might expect. Your exposures fall within the limit of the 500 rule so I would think this isn't caused by star trails. Another possible explaination could be lens coma, but I notice that within a small area, the orientation of the streaks is both horizontal and vertical.
I wouldn't think coma could cause this. Do you know what is happening here? Nothing I can think of explains it.

When ever I'm longer than 20 seconds with the Tokina 11-16mm set at 11mm I get slight trails. But when shorten I get nice Star points on the brightest stars for some reason. Not sure if from the lens or some other cause. I'm new to this as well.
