What if you could capture a two-hour sunset in a single photo?
This composite was built from ~6,000 photos taken on a night in mid-July, each contributing just one column of pixels.
Look closely and you’ll spot stars starting to twinkle in the upper left as the night begins ✨🔭🧪

Perhaps you’re growing a bit tired of my moon shots. That’s ok. 😆
But for the rest of us, here’s celebrating another beautifully crisp October evening in southern Vermont, with the waxing moon to carry us through calm heavens into a soft autumn night.

Hello #CometLemmon, all the best on your journey!
I captured the comet in this composite with a 40-year old vintage Minolta lens (MD 50mm f2). The foreground was shot at 17mm f1.8, all on a small MFT pocket camera.

Despite a very strong wind, I managed to salvage about fifteen minutes of exposure out of an hour and a half of tracking before it set, just enough for a last-minute farewell to Comet Lemmon, capturing it a second time after my first shot in early October. 🔭
