Moon Composite

Was hoping that we would have had some clear nights by now, already two or so weeks into the Aurora season. There has been a number of nights that the Aurora has been visible but it has been showing in the middle of the night

Also the wind has been a major problem with a number of days at Force 6 -7 so no good for photography often with heavy rain

So its been back to the computer and trying to be creative with the enclosed composite images, where two photos are combined.

People may not like this but it is often done in astrophotography, take star trails you might combine 120 images to create one. HDR often use 3 or 5 images to bring out detail in shadows or highlights

People also take multiple photos of stars or the milky way and combine to reveal more stars and detail
The last two photos are down at Park Hall near Bixter, an iconic place in Shetland.
