Night Sky over Waikato
Night sky photo of the milk way on the right and on the left the Small Magellanic Cloud and the Large Magellanic Cloud. The Carina nebula is visible near the bottom on the right. The four stars that make up the Crux are also visible midway up above the Carina Nebula. The bright star just above the small Magellanic Cloud is called 47 Tucanae and is fact not a star but a globular cluster located in the constellation Tucana.
The "mountain" in the background is called Mt Pirongia.
This image is made up of two images blended PP in Affinity Photo:
One photo was taken just after sunset at ISO 6400, f2.8 (should have been f13), and 109 sec exposure.
The second photo is of the night sky itself and was taken an hour after sun set @ ISO 3200, f2.8 and 15 sec exposure.
I adjusted the highlights and darks and applied prime noise reduction.
Any hints, tips and positive criticism are welcome.
