1060's McIntosh tube amp (my other expensive hobby)

It's too to try to do astro, plus there's a near full moon parked in the middle of the sky drowning everything out, so thought I'd experiment a little, capturing the glow off my 1960 McIntosh tube amp.

Fuji GFXS 50Sii 45-100 f/22, 900 sec, ISO 100

Well done. I like that. Reflections, colors and perspective all work well together.

Looks loud. What are the power tubes? What are you driving with this?
Cool shot. Warm and cool colors. I think you should do more shots. Maybe some shallow DOF. There's some abstracts in there waiting to be found.

It's a McIntosh MC240. 6L6GC x 4 for the output tubes. It and another (configured as mono blocks) are driving a set of Polk RTA12's.
I do plan on reshooting this, especially at a lower angle. Was really trying to catch the blue glow, which came out better than expected.
