So, here are the photos I’ve shot thus far. This is a very time-consuming pastime. Whenever I decide to begin my master’s degree, I’d like to spend a month or a semester in Iceland. For each photograph, I’ve included the cameras and specifications I used. Last year, I purchased a star tracker, but I’ve only used it two or three times. Remember to turn on the night mode in the panel, hit play, and relax.
