Near infrared can make Milky Way photos uniform and bland.
This telephoto shot with an 850 nanometer long pass filter was looking at a part of the west Cassiopeia (autumn) Milky Way that was interesting in visible light. Dark clouds blotted out portions of the star clouds.
In near infrared that effect is almost totally eliminated, so you get a uniform star field that has much less obscuration from interstellar dust. (So tonight, I'm shooting in blue light that will accentuate dust lanes.)

If you're still masking to avoid COVID(and other things), thank you! If you stopped, and you're able to wear a mask, now is a fantastic time to start again with Christmas events coming up and more crowds etc. COVID isn't over, and masking is a great way to not only protect yourself, but also others. Masking is a simple, visible way to show community care.

"Ad blockers and VPNs are supposed to protect your privacy, but four popular browser extensions have been doing just the opposite. According to research from Koi Security, these pernicious plug-ins have been harvesting the text of chatbot conversations from more than 8 million people and sending them back to the developers.
The four seemingly helpful extensions are Urban VPN Proxy, 1ClickVPN Proxy, Urban Browser Guard, and Urban Ad Blocker. They're distributed via the Chrome Web Store and Microsoft Edge Add-ons, but include code designed to capture and transmit browser-based interactions with popular AI tools.
"Urban VPN Proxy targets conversations across ten AI platforms," said Idan Dardikman, co-founder and CTO of Koi, in a blog post published Monday.
The research firm said that the platforms targeted include ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Grok, and Meta AI."
