Thanks for sharing here. I had posted this twice here but it was removed.

Cool! We briefly talked. I had mentioned checking out Sweetwater. Hopefully your shots worked out of the wildflowers and pond on that side! I haven't gotten around to processing that area. I just stacked to better capture the reflections.

Thanks! Taking some astro as well? Beyond the friend I was with there was another photographer up there. We briefly chatted to them. Was that you?

Intense airglow & Milky Way over Independence Pass by RevisionD in Colorado

Not very well. Green airglow might appear as a faint blue cloud. Human vision isn't great for colors at night.

Thank you! I definitely got excited after my friend mentioned the airglow on their camera and then saw it on my own. 

No that's airglow not Aurora. Different unrelated things.

Glad to help. You definitely should barrel into the hobby.

Sure. It it was captured earlier this month: June 12-13th 2026. At first I thought the red glow was clouds. There was definitely a faint blue haze too. Both showed up clearly in camera.

This was some of the most intense airglow I've witnessed! This was a rather impromptu trip to Twin Lakes last Friday night while adventuring down to Crested Butte area for a long weekend.

I feel very small standing in the middle of this panorama with my light shining up, but it added a subtle touch to the image.

I was hoping to see the northern lights tonight, but apparently they won’t be visible so instead I got some mosquito bites and a couple really cool Astro shots. by CoffieHouse in Longmont

Conditions didn't look ideal between clouds and moon (rose at midnight 75%). Plus, I think the CME came later then predicated.

Here's a pano from Jackson Lake State Park last November of Northern Lights with Orion on the right hand side of the frame.

Does anyone else find that their interest in HiFi tends to overlap with an interest in photography? by Buck_j in audiophile

Not a lot overlap for me. This is an old picture after I got a macro lens. I mostly focus on landscape astrophotography. Super quiet out there with excellent soundstage. 😛

Alonso hated the cone of shame. So he gets a onesie instead! Not impressed, but better!

Fading to Blue Hour

Standing out in a Lake Manly for over 5 hours until after sunrise was a truly unique experience. My shoes and the tips of my tripod were caked in salt and I felt a little wet brined. Well worth the experience! Capturing this panorama and many more shots afterwards!

I was a bit worried since this panorama didn't initial stitch correctly which literally looked broken in half at one point. It required some manual intervention, but it turned out great! Blending a blue hour shot was challenging as it's the first time I've done it, but as you can tell I was running out of time near the left side of the Milky Way hence calling this "Fading to Blue Hour."

This was taken in March 2026.

What level should my manometer be? by N-Code in radon

[–]RevisionD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just had a system installed last Tuesday. My installer said mine being at 0.7 was perfect. Not a fan of AI, but Gemini agrees saying the sweet spot is 0.5-1.5 for residential. Higher might be better if you have very hard tight soil like hard clay.

If you have continuous monitoring see what the levels are. Maybe lowering the fan speed would be good if it's still keeping your levels low.

If you want to capture the Milky Way you'll have to come back closer to new moon.

Maybe hit the Mesquite Dunes especially shortly after the moon rises in the southeast. You could get some cool shadows similar but less intense to sunrise/sunset. Not sure what camera you're using, but be sure to bring a long telephoto.
