This is my first post to the web site forum. There is a bit of explanation that I owe the viewer. For a number of years I have attended re-enactment events called “Rendezvous.” These events commemorate the “fur trapper“ period of American history, roughly 1600-1840. The things that make these events so intriguing for astrophotography: the events are usually held in remote locations away from urban light pollution, and the participants (usually) conform to strict prohibitions against electric lights, including flash lights and flash cameras after dark. I started conducting “star parties” at some of these events a couple years ago, and have a following of friends who try to convince everyone of the beauty of the “natural” night sky. I wasn’t sure where to post these. Please let me know if there is a more appropriate forum for this type of photo.
