The energy in astronomy at the present time is amazing. I know of two locations pursuing International Dark Sky Association recognition as Dark Sky Parks. I have recently visited both and feature some work from Watoga State Park in this video. Join me in supporting these organizations with your visits, monies, and photography. The night sky is a treasure to hold onto.
Links to resources and Watoga are below. In this video I explore the core of the Milky Way with a brand new lens. And it does not disappoint. IMHO, there are amazing astroscapes to be captured with a simple camera/lens/startracker. I encourage you to explore these compositions if you haven't. I love viewing these areas with binoculars while I am shooting. It's amazing what the eye can see when it knows what to look for. Also, this video includes my best drone work yet with the Mavic AIR 2. And I get creative with the Insta360 camera and editing. I believe my video work is advancing with this production. My goal...less of me and more of creation! Please enjoy the video and I wish you all of the best. Clear skies until next time.
