Starscape
It was a warm night on the mountain, and the skies were fairly clear, and I’m supposed to be coming up with a “Night” photograph for the Del Mar Fair, so I tried for some star trails above the house at Fern Meadow. Alas, the light pollution from L.A. is too bright for really long exposures. With the wide angle lens I wanted to use for composition, it takes minutes to get noticeable star trails. I did get some star map photos showing the house. Unfortunately they are too noisy to print big. Very long exposures is still a domain where film does better than conventional (as opposed to astronomical) digital cameras.
