Without some sort of stabilizing mount a very long exposure is likely going to push the limits of the camera's ability to stabilize the shot. A video with post processing into a single still may be a workable approach. Thanks you are right that in order to get a long exposure night sky stability is the key. I’m trying a variety of approaches. It looks like photo editing may be my best hope. I just wish my camera could capture what I saw last with my naked eye. It was a great night sky with tons of stars and I could even see one far way galaxy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself saying that a lot. Between the dynamic range that the human eye can see, the incredible colors, the 3 dimensional view, the framing of foreground/middle ground/background...our sight is an impressive thing. Cameras often seem to fall short. That's why I post process a lot...to bring bag some of what I saw with my eyes that didn't quite appear in the initial camera photo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a little video that I quickly threw together on our excursion to Stingray City. The video was all shot on my new Go Pro 11 Hero at 4K resolution and 60fps. The video quality is amazing. The only problem I had was sometimes it would switch modes on me. I think I needed to do a screen lock since the water may have pushed up against the back touch screen and switched it. But any way I hope you enjoy video of these amazing creatures. This was really something special. Oh my word I'm so jealous of your skills. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played bingo on our 2012 Adventure of the Seas cruise. I won a free cruise I had to track down the bingo host for 4 days to get the certificate. Finally got it on the last day it was worth about $2000. I upgraded to a JS and took the cruise on Allure the next year. Haven't won at bingo since.

My story goes like this: We were staying at home in February 2021 (like most of us here) and hubby and I had received our second in the Moderna series of COVID vaccines. In January, we had received the first, and other than a sore arm, no issues. Different tale this time - after retiring for the night in February, I woke up first with chills, but managed to go back to sleep. Then a few hours later, I had the feverish feeling. I went back to sleep for a few more hours, then woke up again, this time needing a potty break. I should have stayed put, because my head was throbbing. Hubby was already awake but had taken the dog out for his morning walk. I made it to the bathroom, did my business, and the next thing I knew was hubby propping me up against the bathroom vanity, and then I passed out again. When I woke up, we decided to go to an urgent care center. They did a chest x-ray, a CAT scan, and gave me a saline solution - and by that time, I was feeling much better. I did suffer a couple of very minor cuts on my scalp, but no concussions, thank goodness. I think I hit the doorframe of the bathroom door on my way to the floor. And yes, I definitely did not drink much water that evening, dummy that I was. Was it the vaccine? I'll never know for sure, but I now know enough to drink PLENTY of water when dealing with booster shots, getting COVID itself, or any "bug" in general. Case in point: We finally got the bivalent booster shot 2 days ago, and you bet I was drinking water like a dehydrated camel on Wednesday evening. I did wake up in the night for bathroom breaks, but at least I didn't feel dizzy or pass out. Edited October 21, 2022 by sushitex 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
