Exploding Milky Way
I had another go at processing my star trails from Castle Hill the other day by using fewer shots. When stacking the 60 shots using Sequator I forgot to set it to stack for star trails. Instead Sequator tried to align all the stars. The result I got was totally unexpected and literally out of this world!
First I took the foreground 240 sec exposure, f/5.0, ISO 3200. Next I took a timelapse of 120 images, 30 sec exposure,, f/2.8, ISO 1000, but I only used 30 images for this. Denoised in DxO PhotoLab 6.5. Star trails stacked using Sequator (using aligment). Finally composited with the foreground using Affinity Photo.
