July saw the chase of Comet NEOWISE to: the Red Cliffs at Red Rock, the lofty Lockwood Valley, and Joshua Tree. A visit to the Alabama Hills and Whitney Portal afforded the opportunity for some great sunrise shots and close-up shots of Mt. Whitney.

Star Trail at Joshua Tree
Star Trail over the rocks north of the the Ryan Mountain trailhead. One star trail below and slightly to the right of Polaris goes a bit off. This is because a flare from the ISS showed up in one of the shots. Again this was a re-shot due to the lens zoom moving. I shot the multi-row panorama so my lens was focused on the stars, I moved the tripod to get a more favorable position for Polaris over the rocks and the lens moved from 16mm to 20mm. I re-shot this with the same lens on my last trip to Joshua Tree taking great care to look at a one-to-one preview of the shot before I started taking the series of photos for the star trails.
