My attempt at capturing the Christmas Star. Shot it from in front of the Immaculate Conception Catholic Parish, seemed fitting somehow. I took about 70 shots between 5:50 and 7:30 with all kinds of complicated plans on merging and stacking layers of different exposures and focus. But, in the end this one frame caught a shooting star along with the planets between the left two crosses and just before the shutter closed a car pulled off the highway and it's headlights flashed the crosses. Slight exposure, contrast, tint and temp adjustments but otherwise an as-is image.
