Most astrophotographers would never, in a million years, post their crappy photos. They contain serious problems like star trails, star balls, flares and the like. What is your problem?

Can’t say it was too successful. This is just a preview image of about 200 seconds. I never did get things going to get a full-acquisition image. I may try again, tonight. These early-morning imaging sessions can be brutal. I think I got most of the weird stuff hammered out last night. I didn’t have any coffee for Murphy, so he just stayed a couple of minutes, but it was enough to throw me off. Doesn’t take much. Sorry about the size of the image. It was the best I could muster. https://www.flickr.com/photos/78046474@N06/14343831416/in/set-72157645005035...
