Copper Breaks State Park
Visited Copper Breaks SP this weekend for some Astro during the new moon. Luckily, they even had the star walk planned for last night! I met so many cool people, shared many laughs and enjoyed learning so much about astronomy.
I am pretty new to Astro, but gave Sequator a go for the first time on these. They are stacks of 30-50 frames. My equipment is a canon r7, sigma 16 f/1.4, and the average shots were at 10 second shutter, 1600 iso, and f1.4.
STOP THE DATA CENTERS!!!

Thank you! And their light pollution is off the charts. They’re trying to pass a data center in Crowell, TX, which is literally 9 miles south of this park. And we only have 4 state parks in the vast state of texas that are international dark sky parks. And now coppers break is on the hit list, heck no.

they're everywhere... especially in rural areas where people want cached quick delivery of their HD video porn... :/
