Re: [APML] OT: Light Pillars in Orion w DSLR

Very nice image Stuart !!!

 

It's surprising how the light pillars can be similar to an aurora ! ;) I saw a light pillar one time and it was very similar to the rays of a northern lights except for the movements !!

 

For the bands , try to downsize your image at 50% each time ( like the star trails to avoid breaking trails ) ... maybe that could help !?

 

Thanks for sharing !
