I'm so glad you mentioned the wave pools in the first image or I would have missed the pinpoint stars in the closest one. I should enjoy your posts on a bigger screen. Your writing and images are the stories of the skies and our surroundings we need right now...instantly soothing and reassuring. Thank you!
Your photos are always stunning, Bryan. I really appreciate your artistry and stories. Thank you for sharing the beauty of the stars and Milky Way, the Minnesota landscape and everything in between.
I do wonder - the core is not visible, but in December in Death Valley, how are the conditions for non-Core Milky Way shots, since it will be darker at a more reasonable hour?
Looks like it will be a new moon on the 8th, just after the trip...and it rises only in the early morning the days before. So we might get the early morning crescent moon for our sunrise shots but the nights could be free...
I took a non core Milky Way Panorama from southern New Mexico in January. It was a very dark site, but the winter Milky Way is so much dimmer than the summer that it made for a difficult photo. Tracking and stacking would have made for a better photo but added more complexity.
What do you mean? How to remove them from your shot or how do you tell what are satellites? If the later, almost every steak you see in the night sky is likely a satellite.
Thanks for pointing out the stars in the pools. My heart leaped with joy when I saw them.
How to get the photos when they are to early for your next calendar .......?

Assuming the moon isn't out, you could get the arms in photos.

How does one pick out the satellites?

You answered it. Sorry for the ambiguous question. I was having a hard time identifying the satellites in the picture. Thank you
Thank you for sharing such beautiful captures with us.
