BeautyEditing
The stars are 10 tracked exposures of 65 seconds each, f4, ISO3200 at 90mm. They were stacked with StarryLandscapeStacker to reduce noise. Mount Shasta was one short image with no tracking.In my camera bag
I carry a minimal bag. I leave most of my gear at home and just carry what I need for the current shot. Lighter.Feedback
Practice. Getting good astroimages takes practice as well as a lens with great corner image quality. I went out 14 times last year and every time I had noticeable improvements.
