We Are Not Alone

Noisy but it was just a "how's the exposure, how's the focus" shot....still it was what I had to contend with most of the evening.

Interesting and intriguing, Chris. Is the white and green dashed thing coming in from the right an artifact, a meteor or what?

In Affinity Photo we often cope with the noise by removing all of the colour and luminance noise - then add gaussian noise. Not sure whether Photoshop is sophisticated enough to do all of that? (all in one panel too!)

Interesting shot Chris. The streaks suggest several things were moving fairly quickly relative to the exposure you were using. I suspect that the dashes on the right are likely the navigation marker lights on a plane.

I think the one at the highest point might be the Space Station as it was scheduled to fly over around the time the exposure was made. I think the long streak next to Mars (lower left bright planet) might be a meteor. Other than being eaten alive by the mosquitoes, it was a fun shoot.

I have lost my sky to trees, bamboo and clouds. You make me ponder on cutting things down a bit.
