65 stacked images of a gnarled tree that I lit with small lights that faced the North Star a couple nights ago.

Wow, that’s a crazy photo! It’s kind of making me dizzy I think. Fun stuff! What do you think about cloning out the little bit of black in the upper right corner?

Thanks for your comment Mark, it is dizzying, I agree! Great suggestion on that black part in the upper right corner which was from part of another tree sticking out. Here's a cleaned up version. Do you think this helps?

If anyone is curious, this was originally captured as part of a time lapse - check it out here if interested - https://youtu.be/8mPHwjU3gRU

Starry Starry Night. A scene good enough for Van Gogh and Munch.

I love these images and admit to being a 'deer in the headlights' whenever a good one such as this is presented. Well done!

I'm not a fan of streaks or lighting night images, but this is cool. on the time-lapse.

Thank you Jim, I tried to make it artistic and not too over the top - I like the time lapse too, turned out just how I envisioned it!

Nice man, I like the lack of the distracting element. One of my first Photography mentors told me that when he was young, he worked at a newspaper or magazine company, and they were always telling him. “check the edges check the edges.” That quote has stuck with me. Of course that was back before you could clone them out.

Glad you pointed it out Mark! I usually do try and scan the frame but missed it this time. Great advice by your mentor!
