Very interesting images, Larry. Perhaps you should plan your re-visit
for mid-winter?
Thanks Alan. In summer, in this part of the Pacific Northwet there is
only about a 70% chance of overcast skies at night, in winter it's about
97%.

It turns out that there are quite a few covered bridges in this part
of Oregon. It shouldn't be much of a surprise that it's pretty
challenging to photograph them at night. Just getting a clear sky to
see the stars is a challenge, particularly one without the moon
causing issues.
I got some near misses of the covered bridge on Harris Road, I was
shooting at too high an ISO and totally blew out the sky glow from
Corvallis.
The covered bridge in Chitwood had the interesting challenge of being
lit with some weird greenish light from a house across the street.
They'll definitely be worth revisits once I get another chance with
dark, clear, skies. I'll try shooting at similar times (10-30 seconds)
but at a lower ISO than 6400, possibly bracketing ISO to see if that
makes a difference.
I thought I had made a panorama of shots with astrotracer, but I don't
see that one, I'll add it in a bit. Here's my trip preview album.
I'll probably reprocess everything once I get home and am working on
my desktop machine. My laptop has been crashing a lot on lightroom on
these big panoramas.
