Shaky but pretty

If I were a more careful photographer, I would use more sturdy supports, ones that would prevent camera shake. Instead I use what's available. Here, I angled my camera against a post on the railing of our deck just outside the back door. It was Saturday around ten pm, and the night was already fairly dark. I was aiming to get a picture of the bottom of the Milky Way in the SE sky. I think I did so, but some of that coloured haze may have been low light clouds lit by a car on a road a kilometre away. Maybe. And of course every star in my sky is a short line rather than a point of light. Thus you don't want to look too closely. :) I did get a sharp image of four moving objects, probably satellites, but maybe meteorites. You do have to look closely to see them.
