Knight's Ferry Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

            From last night's secret ops outing with Miguel. We kept under cover of darkness so as not to be spotted, then waited for the milky way to drift into position, and finally blasted the night with our earthly photons using my LED panel-on-a-stick to light paint the bridge. The sky is a Bortle-4.

The covered bridge in Knight's Ferry, CA is the longest covered bridge west of the Mississippi. I also contend that those giant ants under the bridge are the largest ants west of the Mississippi. Crouching in complete darkness, knowing an army of these creatures is climbing all over me, requires a little extra intestinal fortitude.

Lens is the DFA 25mm on the 645Z. I have switched to Sequator for processing my milky way images and it is much easier than photoshop. I fed my 8sec star exposures into the program, checked a few boxes and out popped a decently processed image. No extra hour spent stretching frames to mitigate distortion issues.
