Beautiful shot... and I am not a "flower guy".. I was a "flower child"... but this one really drew me in.

Thank you, Jim !Beautiful shot... and I am not a "flower guy".. I was a "flower child"... but this one really drew me in.
Thanks for the tip on the noise reduction technique.. I will give it a try. I didn't think of handling the issue that way.Jim it sounds like you could use the Pentax GPS unit. It includes a program Astrotracker which moves the sensor to track star movement. I haven't used it but here's a discussion thread:
Pentax Forum - Camera & Photography Community - PentaxForums.com
As for noise reduction, I'd try a luminosity mask, e.g., on a PC in PS, Ctrl-Alt-2 will select all the bright areas (stars); Ctrl-i inverts the selection allowing you to apply NR to only the dark areas.
Not so far.Long way from Jim´s photos.

Your colors are true and you didn't drive 225 miles to get the shot either. I could not get such a shot here in the suburbs of Dallas.Long way from Jim´s photos.

Lens used, aperture and exposure time please. Very nice star points with no drift. I would like to try this myself some time in the near future and your feedback would be helpful. (note: near future could be days, weeks, or months away as we have headed into the overcast and rainy period after a brilliant summer.) I will be heading out with a group for the next four Friday nights but no guarantee of clear skies.One more from the evening sky.

Thanks for your kind words and encouragement. More to follow for sure!Dan: the railroad crossing and the tattoo parlor are eye-poppers! Altogether, an eerie but eye-catching set of images...hope more are forthcoming.
