#Astrophotography is challenging because the shutter is open for a long time collecting lots of light. That means it takes very little to illuminate a subject in the dark.
In a single shot, this can be done by light painting, but in a time lapse that lighting has to be consistent.
Here's what I'm trying. I have these 2 LED lights at 1% brightness and I'm bouncing that off a silver reflector propped up against the bush to light up the tree ahead.
