The site of an old horse racing course on the outskirts of Oswestry. The skies to the west are dark enough for the Winter Milky Way to be visible, even with the bright lights of the town just behind to the east. Image made with 8x 20 second exposures stacked in Sequator
Hallo zusammen
ich war wieder mal in der Nacht draussen um die Milchstrasse aufzunehmen. Gleichzeitig habe ich noch einen Timelapse gemacht. Meine Idee ist, ich bin hier noch nicht fertig, unser Dorf mit der Milchstrasse aufzunehmen, obwohl wir eine recht grosse Lichtverschmutzung bei uns haben (Region südlich von Basel).
Nun ist es so, das in unserem Dorf um 0030 Uhr die Strassenbeleuchtung ausgemacht wird und wir somit bei uns wieder etwas Nacht haben.
Für dieses Bild habe ich 16 NEF mit Sequator gestackt und dann in DxO bearbeitet. Jedes Bild wurde bei ISO 1600, f 1.8 und 13 sek belichtet.
Hoffe das Bild gefällt euch.
Gruss Martin
Star trail composed of 299 15 second images stacked with Sequator
Foreground composed of 12 light painted images blended along with the star trail images in PhotoShop
Once the Milky Way had moved from it's position behind the lighthouse I turned my attention to the cross we had been stood next to all night. We had taken up residence here to shelter from the wind but it would have been rude not to get a shot of it.
This is about 10 shots for the sky and 4 dark frames run through Sequator and then Lightroom.

My first Milky Way photo of 2019!
Ahh the Milky Way, i love the challenge of taking photos of it!
A: Find the location(Weather/Moon/clouds/light pollution etc)
B: Camera/Lens/Settings
C: Processing!
So when it comes to "C" i'm now taking 8-10 shots and stacking them in Sequator to get rid of the noise. But i'm finding my processing in LR is letting me down so i've just invested the Alynn Wallace Astro Workflow presets. And i'm pretty impressed even just after a 5 min mess around without reading the "intructions" and the above photo hasn't even been stacked!
More "natural" Milkyway photos to follow... once i work out these LR plugins!
The Moon was between Venus and Mars the day before, but moved closer to Mars on this next night
I photographed the moon above this massive fireplace chimney, Mars is below and to the right of the chimney.
(A permit is required to photograph this abandoned military base, so I won't be promoting its identity / location.)
This is 15 shots at 15 seconds each, including one at 30 seconds, of the rising Milky way, at ISO 6400 on 13/2/2024 at 0400hrs.
Stacked with Sequator.
There was a lot of fast moving clouds around at the time. It blocked out some of the milky way but added a different effect..
Some light pollution from townships and the South Eastern freeway bottom left.
The runway lights were on! No doubt rural Nevada airports are seeing usage like never before with the lithium mining rush underway. Apparently over 21,000 claims have been filed. So far.
We shoot here with proper permits. Remember, airports are critical infrastructure; don't risk an encounter with Homeland Security!

This is the Douglas Hollow Schoolhouse, an abandoned one-room structure out in the middle of nowhere in rural Wasco County, Oregon. It was supposedly built in the early 1900s, but information about it is extremely scarce. I saw a photograph of it on the internet, taken in 1954, that indicated it had been a grange hall in 1913. It was nearly destroyed in a massive wildfire in 2018, but firefighters cut a fire line right next to it and saved it.
This is a stack of 12 untracked 12-second exposures to reduce noise; stacking was done in Sequator. The building was illuminated with a palm-sized light panel during the exposures.
Camping near Trearddur Bay last weekend no moon in the sky and we got lucky with a clear sky for 15 minutes just before midnight.
Technical stuff: ISO8000 f2.8 13 seconds x 9. Stacked in Sequator then edited in Lightroom using Alyn Wallace presets
Also visible are planets Jupiter and Saturn.
Astro-modified Canon EOS 600D and Samyang 24mm f/1.4 lens.
7 x 13-second exposures at f/2 and ISO 6400, stacked in Sequator software; curves and colour balance adjusted, and noise reduction applied in Cyberlink PhotoDirector,
5 x 10-sec exposures at f/2.5 and ISO 6400; Canon EOS 5D MkIII and Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens; frames stacked in Sequator software to reduce noise; contrast and colour balance adjusted in Cyberlink PhotoDirector.
I also used Noel Carboni's astronomy tools in Photoshop Elements to reduce the prominence of the stars (which otherwise dominate after stretching the contrast). Hopefully this has helped to emphasize the distant starfields and dark nebulae of the Milky Way.
Visiting the "Kepler Sternwarte Linz" remote observatory on the Hohe Dirn mountain in Upper Austria. In early November the summer triangle setting behind the observatory dome created a nice composition for a TWAN image.

One of several starry night image sequences I've processed in Sequator this week.
Our small group night photography workshops in Bodie are full in June, but we have room for now in July, August and September.
The Milky Way reflected in a vernal pool in Nevada.
Actual Milky Way reflection photo (not a faked composite image).
As the world embraced the concept of social distancing, millions discovered the joys of the great outdoors. Here in the Great Basin, camping offers the opportunity to see a natural dark night sky in its full glory.
On this night in mid-August, at close to midnight the Milky Way was arching straight overhead, so it struck the horizon vertically at a 90 degree angle. The bright galactic center was perched high above the southwest horizon. We were camped on a dry lakebed to have a panoramic view of the night sky, to watch the Perseid meteor shower.
Nearby was a vernal pool, inhabited by tadpole shrimp, prehistoric-looking 3-inch crustaceans that resemble horseshoe crabs, which date back 300 million years. Although tadpole shrimp species go back 400 million years, individuals can reproduce within a week of these pools forming, then the pool may dry up days later, encasing their eggs in dried mud until the next rain big enough to reform the pool, which may not happen again for many years.
Reflected in this pool, the oldest light we can see with the naked eye is from the Andromeda Galaxy, 2.5 million light years away. The Hubble Space Telescope has picked up light as old as 13.2 billion years. The new James Webb Space Telescope will see even farther back in time, closer to the Big Bang, 13.7 billion years ago.
Sitting my a pool harboring ancient crustaceans, lit only by ancient light, the calcium in our bones and the calcium in the shrimp coming from ancient supernovae, it is easy to comprehend John Muir's observation, "When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe."

I got up at 2:30 am this morning to see if I could spot Comet Neowise from my local country park.
When I got there, the low clouds were covering up the comet but I did get a good view of the Noctilucent Clouds, so I stayed a while to watch. I'm really glad I did as the clouds soon cleared away and gave me my first view of this comet.
Nikon D500, 70-200 f2.8 on a tripod. About 10 images, stacked in Sequator (which darkened the sky considerably!)
Hayshed under the stars. The sky is a stack of 9 shots, 10 seonds each, in Sequator. The foreground is a blend of 3 light painted shots, light painting by Richard Tatti. Processed in Lightroom, blending in Photoshop, Sigma lens.
Juniper Point, Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver, BC, Canada.
19 sky images were stacked in Sequator 1.5.5, each was taken with Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, f2.8, 30s, iso-1000. And then stacked in Photoshop with the forground image (f5.6, 305s, iso-500).

We'll be returning to shoot historic Central Nevada after accessing Bodie, in our second June workshop June 10-15.
Centaurus A (also known as NGC 5128 or Caldwell 77) is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. It was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from his home in Parramatta, in New South Wales, Australia. Shot with Canon 5Dsr and SW Quattro 250 F/4. 10 x 55 sec frames stacked in Sequator.
Who says you can’t capture the Milky Way in November? You might not get the galactic core, but you can capture a portion of the great rift! This is a shot behind Somerset Mansion, looking out over Phelps Lake in Pettigrew State Park. Sky: 14 photos stacked in Sequator. Foreground: 5 shots blended in Photoshop for noise reduction. Everything blended in Photoshop.

Vintage Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/2.8
Available light, on tripod.
Multiple exposures blended with Sequator
I'm quite happy about how this shot came out since i've tried to use a vintage lens to do it. Yeah, there is evident comma in the stars out of the center of the frame but all in all i like it!
A view from the island of Krk over the adriatic sea with the islands of Cres, Losinj and Rab. Image shot in a short time frame between astronomical dusk and moonrise.
Exposure time is 10x25sec, stacked for sky and foreground using sequator.
Reworked version due to updated monitor calibration.
look for it to the east at 5 am, about halfway up from the horizon (42 degrees).
No sky-tracking mount, five exposure-bracketed images stacked.
Most mining-related sites are private property, but I was able to get permission to shoot this one.
We’re developing quite a Nevada ghost town circuit if you might like to schedule a trip with us!
