A Small Piece of the Milky Way

One from last weekend that shows the constant struggle landscape photographers have- waiting for the right conditions.

This is a shot I like to do every spring. In Feb and Mar I can get this shot right before dawn with the Milky Way rising and the trees have not leafed out. between the February and March new moons I have a couple of opportunities to get this shot. I tried the first three weekends in February- Overcast or raining every day. I tried March 3rd, raining. I tried again last weekend. Rain one day and partly cloudy forecast for last Sunday. So I chanced it. I drove to the river. Made my way through the woods. Waded down the river in the dark to this spot. then set up the cameras and made images. Only a few have any of the Milky Way at all. This probably being the best.

The forecast was for clear this morning so I planned to go again. Except we got a lot of rain overnight Tuesday. The river normally will be 2 to 3 feet (1m) deep but was running 4 feet (1.3m) deeper. Now at 7 feet deep, there is no way to cross. The sky was clear but the river was too deep and too fast to wade safely. So I wait, watch and hope the river goes down quick and the sky stays clear as this weekend is my last chance of 2019 to get this shot as by April the trees will all be green and leafy.

Hoping the Clouds Part

Here is my camera set up over the weekend. I have been wanting to try astro for several of the last weekends around the new moon but it has been rainy or overcast every time. Sunday morning was calling for partly cloudy so I thought I would chance it. A few times I saw pieces of the Milky Way but never much of it. Here is my camera set up on a rock ledge after I waded down the river in the dark to this spot.

Star Trails on the Lost Mesa- may notice the Milky Way in there too. I was out

The Milky Way rising over the Brazos River just before dawn. We are at the time of year when the galactic core begins to return to the night sky. Unfortunately it has been overcast last weekend and this weekend so I dont think I will get a chance until March.
