My niece was in NY last week and was kind enough to send me a picture of the Dakota. It was 45 years ago today that we lost John Lennon.
The Dakota in New York City. A German Renaissance style apartment building built between 1880 and 1884.

A waning gibbous moon rises next to the Cockspur Island Lighthouse. Lens compression makes the moon appear as large as the structure. Clouds low on the horizon add texture to the sky.

Zerene Stacker practice. The itsy bitsy spider. This is a 3 photo stack. I am not sure what kind of spider this is. It was about 1cm overall.

Here is my basic Milky Way setup.

Sony A7 II
Laowa 15mm f2
Star Adventurer Mini
William Optics base
Manfrotto tripod.

I normally shoot around 8 to 10 120 sec exposures at ISO 1600 f5.6 and stack in Sequator.

It has quite a few miles on it.
