An unusually dry and clear South Florida night prompted me to try an astrophotography shot from my new home last month. Lots of light pollution and stifling humidity typically get in the way of seeing the Milky Way core during the months it is supposed to be visible. To make matters worse, at the time of capture, I had not yet figured out how to disable the motion sensor floodlamps which were bathing the trees in light. Anyway, since I got reasonably good captures (and even remembered to get dark frames during the session), I figured I should try to get a final image of some sort, so I finally got around to doing the post processing today.
