Special nocturnal composition made up of 6 shots. The first one, one minute long, with the tree illuminated. The next four shots, also one minute long, were taken without illuminating the tree. All these five shots were taken before the moon appeared in the sky. Afterwards, once the moon was visible, a last quick shot was taken to catch the moon without burning it. The processing followed was:
Step 1: basic processing of RAW shots with Darktable, saving them with Linear profile.
Step 2: Trail integration of shots #1 to #5 with Sequator. The output is a canvas with the sky with the trails, the illuminated tree, and the noise quite removed because of the blending of so many shots. There is no moon.
Step 3: Processing alone the shot with the moon with Darktable, being darkened the rest of the picture to create a fusion mask.
Step 4: Stacking (Max function) the step 2 output with the step 3 one. Now you get the trails, the illuminated tree, and the moon in good conditions
Step 5: With the integrated canvas was applied my typical post-processing with Darktable to achieve the final output.
It was a shame that the moon was not a Supermoon (I arrived one day late) and it is also true that I need an objective with a really higher zoom (which I don't have).
Enjoy it.
It's just a shot to catch the Milky Way. It was a shame it was located over Sabiñanigo with its luminous contamination.
The shot was made following this process:
1st) For the fixed elements (tree and land) 14 shots were staked with the median function to achieve the Canvas1 with less noise. These shots were 25 seconds long with ISO of 5000. They were processed at a basic level with Darktable and stacked with a LUA plugin for Darktatable (in a Linux system).
2nd) For the stars, the Milky Way and the sky, the Sequator program was used (in a Windows system) to get the Canvas2. So 14 shots were star-aligned with these parameters:
> Composition: Freeze Ground
> Sky Region: Partial
> Auto Brightness: on
> High Dynamic Range: on
> Remove Dynamic Noises: on
> Remove Distors. Effects: auto (complex)
> Remove Light Pollution: deep-sky 00
> Enhance Star Light:50
> Color Space: Linear
3rd) Canvas1 and Canvas2 were staked with the MAX function, obtaining Canvas3 with the stars well aligned and less noise and the ground and tree with less noise (in Linux system).
4th) Finally the Canvas3 was processed with a Darktable (in Linux). One of the modules applied was the one called "composite" (new in Darktable version 4.8), to stack a shot with the tree illuminated partially.
More messing with images from the my new star tracker . 73 x shots stacked in sequator shot with 60D and my old ef 135mm f2.8 soft focus lens. Really struggling with processing these images , a big learning curve.
Looking north towards Bombay Beach from in the Salton Sea. The famous swing set in the foreground.
To create this photo, I trudged through about 100 feet of the lake where the bottom is mucky clay. Think if it being like mud mixed with glue. I lost a pair of rubber boots in the process.
I managed to keep my camera above water and then set it up on the tripod behind the swing. Next, I used an intervalometer to take a back-to-back 30 second shots for about two hours.
I have a few cuts on my feet and legs from the ordeal, but I think it was well worth it.
This is about 120 minutes total exposure time. Shot with a Canon EOS R and Canon RF 15-35mm lens on November 27, 2021. I used the Star Trails intervalometer function on a Pluto Trigger to automate the shooting. Post production worked involved masking out bright headlights from when cars drove up and down the beach a few times. I used Sequator to stack the images and then Photoshop to remove several light trails created by airplanes.
Bombay Beach is a census-designated place (CDP) in Imperial County, California, United States. It is located on the Salton Sea, 4 miles (6.4 km) west-southwest of Frink and is the lowest community in the United States, located 223 feet (68 m) below sea level.
The population declined for years and the buildings were rotting away, but by 2018, a number of people had moved into the settlement. An article in The Guardian stated that it was "enjoying a rebirth of sorts with an influx of artists, intellectuals and hipsters who have turned it into a bohemian playground". The Bombay Beach Biennale (pronounced like "be an ollie"), an annual art festival, is held here. The swing in the water is the creation of Chris "Ssippi" Wessman & Damon James Duke with the Bombay Bunny Club in an effort to get people into the water to realize that the water is fine... it's just really salty.
I discovered this location a few years ago and after checking on PlanIt! Pro, I determined that this would be a good location for capturing the Milky Way with these old trucks. There are a few of them placed on top of these stacked concrete culverts and more on the ground behind them. I've shot here a few times over the past few years (occasionally with some friends) and I've made a series out of my images; this is the first.

This is a blend of a 33 image pano for the sky along with several images for the foreground. The sky images were stacked in sequator to reduce noise and blended 3 across for the pano.
Not many better experiences than venturing out under a clear canopy of stars on a dark moonless night. I scouted this location on Google Maps while planning on trying out the Eagle Lake Narrows near South River Ontario for some nightscape photography. Ended up being even better than I imagined. Once the clouds cleared out, the wind calmed and the sky cleared to reveal what seemed like the whole universe. If you’ve never experienced a starry night far away from the cities you’re truly missing out !

Estamos en temporada de vía láctea, así que el otro día fui con unos amigos al castillo de Chirel en Cortes de Pallás (Valencia), donde se encuentra este fabuloso castillo.
La idea era hacer el arco de la Vía Láctea con el castillo de fondo.
Tras un viaje de casi dos horas en coche desde Alicante, y media de hora de camino forestal con una subida bastante acusada de desnivel, llegamos al sitio.
A nuestro grupo de amigos se unieron tres fotógrafos de Valencia y alrededores, muy buena gente, hicimos sitio, plantamos los trípodes en una roca al lado del castillo bastante agreste y con grandes caídas cerca, por el poco espacio, pero gracias al buen compañerismo hicimos cada uno nuestra foto sin problema, incluso compartimos la cena.
Una gran experiencia que terminó con esta foto.
Espero que os guste.
Saludos.

Milky Way at St. Michaels Mount, Marazion, Cornwall.

Had a few Flickr free days camping in Cornwall. before going I'd researched Milky Way times and the tide times and was crossing my fingers for some clear night skies. As it happened the first night I was down there it was forecast to be clear and the tide times meant the causeway would be almost clear by the time the MW Core came out. I didn't really feel like it but kicked myself to go out as Had not managed to get the Milky Way last few months. I had taken my MSMN star tracker with me and was rusty with it so with the Core only being visible for 30min I was a bit rushed/stressed. I had also hoed to get a Blue Hour shot of the Mount but arrived too late and trying to focus on it when there is so little light was very difficult and it wasn't until I got them on my monitor I thought the focus was sharp enough to use.
The image is a composite of a long exposure f/8 image fior the causeway, a shot trying to focus on the lights on The Mount and 2 x 3min Star tracked Milky Way images stacked in Sequator.
It's not the best Milky Way image on here but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out all-in-all especially as I thought I had no usable images of the Mount and I'm just glad I got to see the Milky Way again as so many of the times the core has been potentially visible we've had cloud. Star trails is next on my list of things to trial.
In our industrialised western world, places and opportunities to see the zodiacal light have become quite rare.
I therefore feel very grateful for being able to experience such an impressive phenomenon relatively close to my home.
This scenic skyscape was taken in early November 2021 in the “Starpark Hohe Dirn”, a mountain site just south of the Upper Austrian city of Steyr. At 1105m elevation and with nothing but the Alpine mountains to the south, the zodiacal light is clearly visible even to the unaided eye.
A perfect spot for astronomy, as evidenced by the dome of a private observatory.

From early Monday morning at Mono Lake, CA. The Milky Way drifts above a curious field of delicate sand tufas. The dry lake bottom erodes slowly to reveal these intricate structures in the sand. If you guessed that was Venus on the rise left of frame, you would not be incorrect.
I used my LLLS (low level light on a stick) to light paint the tufa bank. Stars are stacked 8 sec exposures.
Lens is the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. For stacking, I finally tried Sequator and it works very well for freezing the foreground while compositiing all the star exposures in place.
I hope you like this one.
Took this image at 4am in the morning at the iconic balanced rock in Arches NP. I used the light glow from Moab to backlight the tree on the right. This is 7 untracked images stacked in Sequator. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.
The Milky Way at 50mm always looks huge and dominating, as it does in this shot at a pond in central Oregon. This was 13 9-second exposures at 50mm, stacked in Sequator. The "dark horse" nebula is prominent here in upper right. Do you see it?

Nikon D850 and Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 14mm and f/2.8 for all shots. Sky: Star stacked blend of 10 exposures @ 10 seconds, ISO 8000. Stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker, which is only available on Mac, but Sequator for Windows can do this too. You can do it in Photoshop or other deep space stacking programs, but Starry Landscape Stacker or Sequator make the process of masking out the foreground for proper alignment of the stars much simpler. The result is pinpoint stars with low noise. Foreground: Blend of 2 exposures, 1 @ ISO 6400 for 2 minutes for the texture in the water, another at ISO 1600 for 16 minutes for detail in the cliffs and trees. The 2 minute exposure provided some nice texture in the water that wasnât too smoothed out like the 16 minute exposure. All shots were taken in the same spot on the same night. The sky and foreground exposure where blended using manual masking in Photoshop to create a final image with everything in good focus and fairly low noise from the cliffs to the stars.

I made my apologies and tiptoed between the sleeping residents. I never noticed the light in the window. Apparently the Church opens only one day a year. I wonder what was glowing in there.

Comet C-2022 E3 (ZTF), aka The Green Comet captured from my back garden in Devon. I captured it using a Tamron 150-600 G2 lens at 600mm attached to my Nikon D750. It was untracked so I had to keep the exposure low to around 4 secs and then took 17 images and stacked in Sequator.

'Double Take'
One of my local 'bucket list' images is capturing the Milky Way over Meldon Reservoir when there is sufficient rain to cause the over-spill to flow. However, as the MW is only in the right position in summer and the over-spill is only likely to flow in the winter , this is unlikely to happen.
So, given so much enforced time at home, I have combined two of my shots at Meldon, one recently and one last summer, to create the image I crave. It will have to satify me for now. Hope you enjoy it too.

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.

60 Einzelaufnahmen der Milchstraße, zusammengefügt mit Sequator und nachbearbeitet in Lightroom, sind das Resultat dieses Bildes. Dadurch werden Details sichtbar, die für den Menschen unsichtbar sind. Das Licht von Galaxien, Nebel und Sternen wird dabei mit jedem Foto intensiver und es entstehen Aufnahmen wie diese.
Great few days away with Phill F, Paul from Lace and his brothrer Terry.
We got onto Llandwyn just before sunset then waited an hour or so for the darkness to ascend and the Milky way to appear.
I don't think I've ever seen so many stars in my life before.
This is 6 shots at iso 10,000, 4 dark frames all run through Sequator.
Great times in top company. Happy days.
Just a fuzzball. Not as photogenic as Neowise. But I wanted to shoot it anyway. ;-)
