Chiricahua Astronomy Complex April 20th – 21

Here are some photos I took while out at CAC over that Thursday and Friday night. There were a few high clouds but did not deter observing. Most were shot with a Canon 5D Mk4 24-70 L2 30 seconds f2.8 fixed. All but the last two were camera looking north. The meteor shot was from the timelapse setup looking mostly south. The Milky Way shot is looking Southeast. The one with the meteor was shot with a 60D 18mm f3.5 30 seconds tracking. This Meteor was probably not a Lyrid.

I did somewhat of an experiment with these in the processing. Instead of subtraction dark frames to reduce noise, I let Adobe’s new Denoise AI reduce the noise. Let me know what you think.
