Visions of Night
The most recent genre of photography I have started into is Astrophotography. This gallery is showcasing the works that I have completed.

Meteor over the Windmill Taken at Big Basin Prairie Preserve in Kansas, a meteor streaked across the sky above the windmill.
Moon Lasso. Images of the moon taken during the full lunar eclipse in May 2022. One full moon image before the eclipse started wrapped with images taken every 10 minutes during the eclipse until the moon began to emerge from the shadow.
MIlky Way over the Bruner Homestead This is taken on the land that my grandfather settled in 1894. My mother and 7 of her siblings were born right on this land. At night in the summer they would put the beds outside and this is where my Mom looked at the Milky Way.

On Memorial Day night between 11:45 and 12:45 there was a prediction of a possible meteor storm from a comet that had broken up in the 90s. I took a series of 15 exposures of 6 seconds each of the sky that are stacked into this single image. While I was there taking the shots, I had seen about a dozen very bright meteors but they were of course not where the camera was pointed. When I saw the results of this I see that there was one big red/green meteor and then there are bunches of small dim ones all over the sky. So there actually was a meteor storm, just not one that was very visible to the eye! This is taken at Clark Lake in Clark County.
