Milky Way from Singapore Bishan Park

This was taken during the Perseids meteor "hunting" session organised by www.astro.sg on 13.08.2013 early hours at Bishan Park. My 3rd attempt at trying landscape astrophotography in my light polluted country.

 

Personally I do not like to blend images and I am really a noob in blending composite images. But I guess this is absolutely necessary to rid the blurry foreground after stacking the long exposure shots. As such, this is a blended image made up of 3 x 60 seconds DSS-stacked photo for the background and a 10 seconds exposure of the same scene for the foreground.
