Jupiter, Saturn and a faint Great Rift region of the Milky Way core over Lugnaquilla

This stacked picture was taken right before astronomical twilight on July 20, 2020 in the southwestern sky above mountain Lugnaquilla in Wicklow Mountains. This is Class 4 Bortle magnitude sky with light pollution coming far from Carlow and Enniscorthy towns so the contrast is rather poor.

 

Shot on Sony A6000 with Samyang 12mm F2.0 mounted on Slik Pro 700DX tripod.

Background sky: 10 x 8s F2.8 ISO5000.

Foreground: 2 x 8s F5.6 ISO5000 with light painting.

Processed in Darktable, Sequator and GIMP.
