About this image

Took a dark sky weekend trip to an AirBnB in Monterey, VA USA to view the Perseids and try out my new Star Adventurer tracker. Was very pleased with the result shown here - 65 x 1-minute exposures using my Canon t6i with 70-300mm telephoto set at 70mm f/6.3 and 1600 ISO. Processed in DSS, PixInsight, and final adjustments using PhotoShop (star spikes added in PS).
