I had great conditions Wednesday night for some astrophotography. I shot 658 frames over a 3-hour period to create a time lapse video. The link to the video is in the comments. #photography #astrophotography #stars #Colorado #nightskyphotography #photographersofbluesky #nightsky #starry #milkyway

Milky Way in the Colorado mountains. I set up two cameras, one with my MSM Nomad tracker and one to continuously shoot so I could make a time lapse video. The link to the video is in the comments. It contains 658 images taken over a 3-hour period and shot at ISO 6400, f/3.5 and 15 seconds with my Canon 5DIV and Tamron 15-30 G2.

As I stood in complete darkness to get the shots for this image, a huge fish jumped and scared the hell out of me. #photography #astrophotography #stars #Colorado #nightskyphotography #photographersofbluesky #weareroamers #photographersunited #nightsky #starry #milkyway #panophotos #msmambassador

Dug this one out of the archives for a re-edit. Ancient bristlecone pine, star trails and Aurora. This was my first time photographing the Aurora, and it was a complete surprise. #photography #astrophotography #stars #Colorado #nightskyphotography #photographersofbluesky #nightsky #starry #aurora

The R6 is the best camera I've ever owned. There are many great features of the mirrorless cameras that are significant improvements over DSLRs. You should see a difference in image quality, especially with noise, going to full-frame. My first DSLR was the 40D, and it was horrible at high ISO.
