You've Always Got A Rainbow

After not being able to get even 5min in on Orion or Andromeda this past season I was feeling kind of bummed knowing I still had a long wait before MW season would arrive so I decided to do something to brighten my - and others - spirits with a bit of bright night lights.
You've always got a rainbow, just gotta know where to look for it.

There's color in them thar stars. Very nice. I still haven't tried star trails, but you have inspired me to at least try.

Watch out, Bittmore, Star Trails were the edge of the Black Hole of this Astrophotography thing.

I've got to try star trails next time I'm in dark sky country! Most nights here in CT I struggle to see enough stars to find the major constellations so long exposures, more than 20-30 seconds just get washed out. Nice job!

Thanks alberio, they are fun. I even made a preset for backyardEOS since after a couple hours in I was developing a habit of forgetting to activate the shutter and ending up with voids in the trails.

SonnyE I thought that was the MW 😂

BigDale I live on a Bortle 5/6 boundary so I get it, most of my star trails are stacks of 4-13sec subs. Once in a while I just set one camera up knowing I won't be able to stack them for anything but trails while I concentrate on the other camera and target.
This is one of my favorites though it was a long, long, long night in 30sec chunks. I thought I'd post one of my < 30 sec subs stacks but apparently I didn't put any on my phone. 😖

Here's one of the old homestead from the bottom of the yard. This was not intended to be a finished product but more to verify where to set up at.
