I had an opportunity to stay on a property that was pretty far from the city. It was at least forty five minutes from the closest restaurant and late at night the sky was bright with starlight. I could see many patterns in the sky, though I am not sure which constellations I captured. The slight cloud cover became apparent as an object lit up the area. To the left of the photo I appear to have caught a shooting star.
These photos are my posts for #colorchallenge #sundaypurple

Many sizes, colors and grouped patterns of stars could be seen. Some may be close by planets or moons, but I am not sure what was what. I believe I got venus on camera as it rose behind the treeline in the photos head in this post.
A zoom but my focus got messed up, its real hard to focus in the dark with dark skies. I found focusing on the far tree line before the sun went down helpe me a little bit.
A few from the porch of the property I was staying at. I took these pictures early in the morning, around 4AM. Those trees are being lit up by the starlight and moon light.
A large light started rising from the tree line. It lit up the sky as it ascended.
It was so bright it made the dim stars around become harder to see. It rose very quickly and so did another object to the right of the image, a little smaller.
Both objects now have risen into the night sky, I think one of them is Venus. But others I am not sure, maybe Mars, or some other planet.
Next time I do full spectrum night photography I hope to have my white balance set better. Though I am not sure how I will use my white card in the dark to set it. May need to set by color temp, hmm got to figure out how to even do that. And working on focus in the dark is important, as things are so dim in the viewfinder its hard to tell until the photo is taken.

I take pictures with a special camera. Its a Mirrorless DSLR that has been modified by Life Pixel to see light in other wavelengths. This allows my camera to see light in the Infrared [IR] around 1300 NM wavelength, through the visual spectrum and into the Ultraviolet A and B wavelengths roughly into the 300 NM wavelength.
I carry many filters on me to make the photos you see in my blog, these filters screw on my lens and help me isolate certain wavelengths for certain scenes. These filters can be IR / UV pass-through filters to assist me get a natural photo taking out the UV and IR light. Or I may use a Infrared pass-through filter capture just IR light. I can do the same with UV light as well, though I need some better filters which they can cost a few hundred dollars for true Ultraviolet pass through filters. So for right now I have B + W 403 bandpass filters that still allow some IR light in, due to their cheaper material.
There are also exotic glasses made of sapphire and germanium I am open to working with to replace my silica glass hot mirror with a material that allows even longer wavelengths of infrared to enter my cameras sensor. Special sensors, lenses and filters of that material would be needed as well, so it would be a big project but one that may give some even more unique photography results.
Addresses below to help me buy better camera equipment and support me to travel to locations to do photo and video and overall great blogs in new places. I would be happy to list some of the contributors in my posts for donations that help me along the way.
