May 26 2020 Colour Out Of Space

            A second night of trying to shoot star trails for the first time in several years. A few critical points to look into overcoming in future: though I cannot improve the interval period between each picture (minimum 1s on my X-E3), I hope to find some way to avoid the stipling evident in these trails; once I have a telephoto lens, I hope to avoid the distracting leaves which contain artefacts of the stacking process; I shot the scene a little too early, so there is some variation of light between the first stacked image and the last - in future I must wait until the afterglow of the sun is totally gone; I need to purchase a decent lens hood, as a lamp adjacent to the antenna causes the lens glare in both the upper right and lower left of the image; and finally I will need to finalise my work-flow - for example do I colour edit the RAW files, or the JPG/TIFF output file from the stacking software (as I did here, though it seems to reduce the integrity of the image)?

So, some more to learn, but I place it here as an imperfect example of what I hope to achieve in future.
