not quite a "Van Gogh" LOL...

startrails,meteors,aurora,orange is light pollution!-from Munising,brighter stars on left half is Milky Way

This is me having fun with digital. It's an image stack of 30 or so 60 second images taken at very high ISO in attempt to capture meteors. Kind of a novelty thing, not very aesthetic IMHO! Gives me a headache after looking at it too long.... Anyway, this was taken at the height of the leonids a few nights ago, and I only managed to capture one very bright meteor in this whole process... well, at least I got one....Bonus was a very faint aurora at the bottom of the horizon, which was not visible to the naked eye. Over time, it left a funky reflection off Lake Superior. A big reason you don't see images like this frequently is #1. A lot of things can go wrong in the process #2. technology to capture the magnitude of this image is relatively new #3. The process to acquire this image is a little more than just point and shoot with extensive post processing. In attempting photography from this location, I had thought this would be a great spot for night sky photography, was disappointed to see how much light pollution turned up in a relatively dark location.
