Bending light produces mind-bending opportunities. From Terrascopes to gravity scopes.
The possibilities are supernumerary!

Was only one of the exposures used to capture the moon, or was the moon tracked by the camera and part of each of the 16 exposu...

Are the short line segments reflected in the water stars or something else? But if stars, I would have expected them to look like points not lines, like in this old APOD - https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap140916.html The water surface must have been a little bit in motion relative to the camera.

Just got back from Idaho’s Challis National Forrest’s White Cloud – Boulder Chain Lakes area.
Like today’s APOD we found an eagle too. I have a newfound respect for people who ride horses – a second time.
