Thank you. Even though I know it is unrealistically blue, I like it better also. For one thing, it was 24 degrees out at 4AM when I shot it and the blue tone gives it a feel that is representative of how it actually felt out thereVery cool. And no pun intended but I like the first one. Nicely done.
You just need to have patience and make sure the tripod is as level as you can get it. There are a ton of tutorials on YouTube and I must have looked at 100 of them before I finally went out.Looks fantastic. I'd want to try it one day!
There is a program for PCs called Sequator that does Star stacking. (And unlike the Mac program, Sequator is free). Nice Star trails!Very nice. I don't have a Mac, I think I'm out.
