The high valley of Bargis points in the perfect direction for a picture of the rising Milky Way core. Combined with perfect conditions (dry, cold, and clean air), capturing this image was pure joy.

No this is not a volcano, it is Milky Way seemingly erupting between Mt. Mönch and Mt. Eiger, two of the most famous Swiss mountain peaks.
You might recognize this image as the final one of my latest time lapse movie flic.kr/p/X6w6oF
It was also the last image I took during my overnight stay at Hornseeli above Grindelwald. I actually had already called it a night and was packing up my equipment, when I looked up and saw the landscape bathed in the light of the rising moon, while the paling Milky Way was setting in the blueish sky, perfectliy perpndicular between those two iconic peaks. The view was so overhelming that I quickly grabed my camera and tripod and shot this last composition.

This image from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope captures the spiral galaxy NGC 105, which lies roughly 215 million light-years away in the constellation Pisces. While it looks like NGC 105 is plunging edge-on into a collision with a neighbouring galaxy, this is just the result of the chance alignment of the two objects in the night sky. NGC 105’s elongated neighbour is actually far more distant and remains relatively unknown to astronomers. These misleading conjunctions occur frequently in astronomy — for example, the stars in constellations are at vastly different distances from Earth, and only appear to form patterns thanks to the chance alignment of their component stars.
The Wide Field Camera 3 observations in this image are from a vast collection of Hubble measurements examining nearby galaxies which contain two fascinating astronomical phenomena — Cepheid variables and cataclysmic supernova explosions. Whilst these two phenomena may appear to be unrelated — one is a peculiar class of pulsating stars and the other is the explosion caused by the catastrophic final throes of a massive star’s life — they are both used by astronomers for a very particular purpose: measuring the vast distances to astronomical objects. Both Cepheids and supernovae have very predictable luminosities, meaning that astronomers can tell precisely how bright they are. By measuring how bright they appear when observed from Earth, these “standard candles” can provide reliable distance measurements. NGC 105 contains both supernovae and Cepheid variables, giving astronomers a valuable opportunity to calibrate the two distance measurement techniques against one another.
Astronomers recently carefully analysed the distances to a sample of galaxies including NGC 105 to measure how fast the Universe is expanding — a value known as the Hubble constant. Their results don’t agree with the predictions of the most widely-accepted cosmological model, and their analysis shows that there is only a 1-in-a-million chance that this discrepancy was caused by measurement errors. This discrepancy between galaxy measurements and cosmological predictions has been a long-standing source of consternation for astronomers, and these recent findings provide persuasive new evidence that something is either wrong or lacking in our standard model of cosmology.

The backdrop is a tapestry of countless stars, some twinkling brightly while others form distant galaxies, creating a sense of endless wonder and mystery. The vastness of space stretches infinitely in all directions, emphasizing the solitary journey. This celestial wanderer, a true galactic nomad, explores the uncharted realms of the universe, seeking adventure and new horizons in the boundless frontier.
[FR] Cette photo est la première que j’ai prise au 50mm et avec mon tracker. Les détails du centre galactique ressortent bien et nous aident à comprendre à quel point l’espace regorge de coins magnifiques que nos yeux ne peuvent que peu observer. Heureusement, les photos nous permettent de découvrir d’autres facettes du ciel nocturne ✨✨
[EN] This is the first photo I have taken with my 50mm and with my tracker. The details of the galactic center stand out well and help us understand how space is full of beautiful corners that our eyes can hardly see. Fortunately, the photos allow us to discover other facets of the night sky ✨✨
Somewhere along the backroads of southern Utah from a few years back.
This is a full 360x180 panorama flattened into a funky 2D projection.
The Milky Way on it's way to setting late in the morning, as light from the moon ripples down Franz Josef Glacier. We had about 3 hours of clear skies up until this point. The moonlight gave an amazing light show up and down the valley, something I have never seen before and captured it all on time lapse :)
Can't wait to release all the footage from our West Coast Trip, but may take a while so watch this space!
Last weekend we went on an astrophotography trip once again. The first night we drove 7 hours to the black forest in Germany where we spend almost 12 hours on the top of a mountain called the Hornisgrinde where we had scouted several interesting foregrounds. This is the first shot from that night. It is a blend of the milky way galactic core at 50mm blended with a foreground at 50mm. I’m getting more and more addicted to longer focal lenghts for astro photography!
There was an abundance of driftwood covering the sands of Seven Mile Beach (New South Wales, Australia) when I visited last Sunday night, tossed ashore by the intense low-pressure weather system that had given the coast a beating recently. Industrious hands had fashioned this structure out of the longer pieces to they'd found scattered around, giving me an unusual feature to use in the foreground of my photo.
I had waited for the Moon to set before trying to shoot some Milky Way images to add to my catalogue, but there was still enough lingering light from the recently-departed orb to brighten the sky near the horizon. After testing a few different alignments of the timber temple and the strip of the Milky Way high in the western sky, I chose this one that has the main lines of the earthly and heavenly structures in parallel.
The camera I used to capture this photo was my Canon EOS 6D Mk II, fitted with a Samyang 14mm f/2.4 lens @ f/2.8 using an exposure time of 25 seconds @ ISO 6400.
Salida nocturna del pasado 21 de agosto. Centro Galactico en los Picos de Europa, en los Lagos de Covadonga. Impresionante cielo a esa altitud. Sin duda alguna, una de mis noches mas apasionantes cazando a la Reina de la noche...
The Queen of the night, in Lagos de Covadonga, Asturias, Spain ...

Night fog rolling in and out while I was taking these shots at Emerald Lake, BC. Emerald Lake located in Yoho National Park. Taken back in April, 2014. When I just arriving after a long day driving from Vancouver. So glad I did stopped at the lake and got a shot of it with the milkyway right on top of the lodge.
I blended this with quite a few different exposure in PS. Mainly with adjusting the overexposed area and give it a softer glow where all the lights are. Did took me some time since the ever changing fog were moving so much thru out each shots. Hope you like it.
Thanks for viewing!

Vertical Milky Way over Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia.
This is the first time I am using the so-called stacking technique to process the Milky Way. This technique is used to reduce the noise, specially when shooting at very high ISO.
I was using the Nikon Z7 & Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4, so the widest aperture I could use was f/4.
Shooting at 14mm and in order to get a sharp milky way, I applied the NPF Rule, which recommends to use 15s exposure (instead of the 500 rule which would allow 500/14=35s). Therefore I had to increase the ISO to 16,000.
So I took 9 consecutive exposures (ISO 16,000 f/4 15s), plus one so-called 'Dark Frame' and used the Sequator software to stack all the exposures.
For the foreground, I used a separate exposure at ISO 4000 f/4 144s.
Finally! A up to date shot of the Milky Way here in Thuringia. I went out last night with Magee Kuperan for chasing the stars. With success! I like this single shot, this mood, the foreground, the Galactic core, my home :) Why we should travel far away when we have this fabolous night sky out on our doorsteps!
The idea behind this image came to me several years before making it. I was teaching in Death Valley and after, I photographed star trails over Manly Beacon and the Zabriskie Point badlands. I knew then the milky way would align, but in a few more months. My next trip, cloud cover kept me from trying. But when I finally had the opportunity, I spent two mornings creating this panorama of the milky way over Manly Beacon in Death Valley.
This bar-bot is being really slow… I don’t think it even knows what a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster is! I dread to think what concoction it’s going to try and palm off on me.
Today’s look is all about a cross between cyber and fantasy! Most from Stargazer Creations except the facemask which was a cool purchase from Cubic Cherry @ the February Dubai Event

A wonderful dark night at Two Jake Lakes in Banff National Park. The milkyway is bright even those Banff is just right behind the trees where the milkyway touching the ground is. They really done a great job on keeping the light pollution down. Allow capturing the starry night sky with wonderful lights lighten up Mount Rundle in the middle. The direct lights just beside the trees under Mount Rundle are some campers. The orange tinted colour on most of the clouds is coming from Canmore which the light pollution is much higher.
The 25 sec exposure only captured the night sky and mountains, but not the lake and rocks in the foreground. So I took another shot for that and put them together.
Thanks for viewing!

Burlington Northern Sante Fe railroad spur and the Milky Way galactic core at Flannigan in northwestern Nevada USA on a somewhat hazy late spring evening.
(ignore any posted EXIF data...this is a blended image shot with a fully manual Rokinon 20mm lens...foreground was light painted at f5.6/ISO 800 for a few 3 minute exposures and the sky was 20 stacked frames at f2.8 and ISO 6400)
"Nauset, Galactic" A nearby spotlight shining through some leafy trees created an interesting pattern on Nauset Light in Eastham.
Looking forward to Saturday night's Greylock Night Photography workshop in the Berkshires. A few spots left. Details here:

I call this a Frankenrama, plagued by clouds every 15 mins, in turn making me wait for another clear spell to carry on shooting, sometimes the wait was so long and the stars had moved significantly. So have combined a few shots from 3 attempts at shooting this :)

Its amazing what you find when you look closely at the frozen water in your dog's outside water bowl on a winter day...
Another closer view of the brightest part of the Milky Way, this time using an IRIX 15mm f2.4 Blackstone lens. Cuttagee, NSW Far South Coast.
Milky Way over Mount Bromo, East Java, Indonesia.
This is a different composition than the previous one I posted recently. It was a portrait format.
This one is a Vertical Panorama, shot in landscape mode. The top part (sky and Milky Way) is made from 9 exposures shot at ISO 16,000 f/4 15s and a dark frame, all of them stacked with Sequator, which does an amazing job removing the noise an enhancing the details.
The bottom part (landscape) is a single exposure shot at ISO 3200 f/4 146s.

Hey everyone! I´m sorry for the lack of content as of lately. I haven´t had to much time to build anything recently. I have a lot of ideas for things to build though, but sadly I just can´t come to realize them. 😔 That being said, I am working on a MOC for a collab! So stay tuned for that. It´s set to release next month! There also is a Fallen Order WIP laying around here, where I´ve been working on the past like year or so from time to time. Nothing to big. I plan on finishing that as well, though again, because of the lack of time to build I haven´t made to much progress on that in a while. In the meantime, here is a Figbarf I made yesterday. I´ve been getting a lot of inspiration from Andor in recent weeks, but I figure you already guessed that by the look of these figs. 😄
Are you guys enjoying Andor? I love the show! Slow, but I don´t really mind that at all.
For the people going to Kloss22 in Norway at the end of the month or to Bricking Bavaria mid next month, I´m displaying there with the RebelLUG/Brickzlab people!
See you!
