The Orion constellation and the faint part of the Milky Way at the tail end of astronomical twilight over the coast of Maine last night. It felt good to be back out under the stars, even if it was windy as heck with the windchill in probably the low teens or single digits.
In person the sky of course looks much less detailed, but the bright Orion constellation really stands out, so I teased out the stars of Orion during editing to make them more prominent.

Here's another comet shot to fill your feeds 😆. I had to make one more attempt at C/2020 F3 NEOWISE before it really starts to fade and depart for the outer reaches of our solar system. Here's NEOWISE from #shenandoahnationalpark on the morning of July 12th.
I was thrilled that I was able to capture both the bright dust tail and dimmer ion tail (bluish) with longer exposures and more shots from some dark skies. This shot was captured from the top of Blackrock Summit in Shenandoah NP looking to the east , with the light dome of Harrisonburg, VA lighting up the lower left corner of the shot.
The last comet I observed with the naked eye was Hyakutake in 1996 with my Dad so NEOWISE has been a nice and reminiscent surprise.I hope you enjoy the shot and get a chance to see this beautiful comet before it dims as it won't return for almost 7,000 years!
Specs: 25x30" tracked sky shots, 30 darks, 30 flats. Merged with 60 second nontracked foreground shot. Canon 6D, Samyang 135mm @F2.8, ISO800 for all shots. Stacked in Sequator, processed in Photoshop and lightroom, gradient removal in Startools.

This is the result of my first attempt at photographing the milky way. For the sky, I stacked eight exposures (ISO 6400, 20sec) with the free software Sequator. For the foreground, I used a single exposure (ISO 320, 120sec), which was blended into the main image utilizing Gimp.
Aurora Borealis over Bodie on the morning of June 1, 2025, as seen from the rim of Bodie Bowl.

Sky: Star stack of 20 exposures, each at 10 seconds, ISO 6400. Stacked in the new version of Starry Landscape Stacker that supports raw files (update should be available in the Mac App Store). Processing raw files in SLS makes the workflow a bit easier, and also gets around the fact that you cannot disable built-in lens profile corrections in Lightroom Classic, which cause major problems on dark images with warping artifacts. If you’re on Windows you can use Sequator for star stacking landscapes at night, which also supports raw files.
Foreground: Single 10 minute exposure at ISO 1600. I processed the raw file for the foreground in Capture One Pro, which allows me to disable the built-in lens profile corrections, and it has a “Single Pixel” slider that makes removing hot pixels a breeze. I did not use in-camera LENR (long exposure noise reduction), knowing that I was going to process the foreground in Capture One anyways. This saves a lot of time when out shooting, and I can move onto other compositions without having to wait for LENR to complete.
The star stacked sky result from Starry Landscape Stacker and the processed file from Capture One were blended in Photoshop, with additional edits, to create the final image with detail and low noise in the foreground and sky.
Lightroom Classic version 9.4 has just been released and Adobe has finally fixed the built-in lens profile issue for camera models new to version 9.4 and all future versions, allowing you to disable them entirely…but not for currently supported cameras, which seems really strange. I hope they fix that in a future release.

While shooting the star trial photo I posted yesterday, I was light painting this photo. It was a lot of work to remove all of the flash light beams from the star trail photos. Managed to catch a little of the Milky Way over the top of the lighthouse. 15 background images stacked in Sequator, 5 light painted foreground images blended with the background in Photoshop.

The Milky Way rising straight up behind a lone tree at White Pocket in the Vermilion Cliffs National Monument of Northern Arizona.
I was with a photo workshop at this location and got to this spot before everyone else, so I took these series of shots before the lead photographers set up the light stands to light up the foreground, which is good and bad. I like how the darker foreground really makes the Milky Way shine, but I only had enough time for one 2 min exposure of the foreground before the lights were set up and changed the shot. Overall I love this location, the sky is super dark and really allows the Milky Way to pop.
12 shots at 16mm, ISO 12800, F2.8, and 15 seconds stacked in Sequator blended with one shot for the foreground at 16mm, ISO 3200, F2.8, and 122 seconds.

Saturday morning 6/29/2019; my 4th location on this all nighter. This view is actually from what used to be the backyard; it may be a little hard to see, but there is the (somewhat collapsed) remains of a swing set right behind the house. I believe the small concrete building to the left may have been a storm shelter and the tank next to it was for fuel.
Shot with my Fuji X-T2 and Samyang 8mm f/2.8 fisheye; (5) 15 second shots + (2) dark frames @ f/2.8, ISO 6400, 3800K WB; a single LED panel was used for LLL.
Stacked in Sequator, fisheye correction with Imadio Fisheye Hemi and DxO Viewpoint, final edits in Adobe Photoshop using a few Topaz plugins.

This morning’s Milky Way. Conditions were sub-optimal, Moon had just set, lots of light pollution, and the area was a class 5 bortle. I managed to coax this photo out of a stack of 5 images processed in Sequator, adjusted in Lightroom, and then ran through Topaz Labs Denoise AI.
Camera: Nikon D7500
Lens: Samyang 14mm f/2.8
5 x (14mm @ f/2.8, 15 sec, ISO 3200)
This was actually an unplanned shot. I had originally scouted out a location more face-on with the lighthouse with the Milky Way emerging from behind the lighthouse. But when I took a walk around the park, I suddenly noticed this wonderful scene with the lighthouse, the ocean, the cliff, and a peaceful cove. I took a series of exposures just as the moon came up from the mountains behind me. The result was quite magical, after the enormous task of blending together the two exposures and extracting as much data out of the sky as possible. Pacific- Ocean-facing skies are hard to beat!
Technical details:
* 30 exposures for the ground, HDR merged
* 7 exposures for the sky, and an additional 8 exposures for the sky with the lighthouse light visible to the camera. Sky shots were tracked with a Star Adventurer Mini star tracker.

Cette image a une histoire... 15 jours d'été aux Canaries avec un ciel voilé, sans belle nuit étoilée, sauf celle-ci... Une nuit comme j'en ai vu peu, où à l'œil nu on voit des nuages d'étoiles, où l'on prend immédiatement conscience de notre place dans la galaxie, où l'on rêve de tous ces mondes face à nous, direct, sans filtre, bordés par l'infini...
Oui, mais alors quel vent ! J'étais résolue à m'installer au sommet du "Mirador de Sicasumbre", 300 m d'altitude, à peine 100m à parcourir depuis le parking : même en y mettant toutes mes forces, je n'ai jamais pu atteindre le sommet !
J'ai décidé de me placer à mi-hauteur du chemin, où le vent était plus faible mais avec le désavantage des phares de voitures. J'étais dos à un muret, mais le vent était quand même tel que mon trépied menaçait de s'envoler. Il était alors évident que je ne ferais rien de bon en photographie, mais têtue comme un âne et tellement désireuse de sortir quand même un "souvenir" d'un ciel si beau, je me suis acharnée. J'ai finalement mis le trépied au plus bas (en fait, presque au ras du sol), ai arrimé tout mon matériel pour ne rien perdre et ai espéré que quelques clichés, entre 2 rafales de vent et malgré les vibrations, seraient réussis. Je suis rentrée complètement couverte de poussière rougeâtre (locale ou Sahara), en croisant les doigts.
Au final, sur toutes mes clichés couvrant toute la voie lactée, seuls une quinzaine sont corrects (couvrant 3 zones connexes de la voie lactée) . Je les ai compilés avec Sequator avant de finaliser l'ensemble, en utilisant quelques clichés ratés pour combler les "trous" (haut et droite). Il vaut ce qu'il vaut, mais j'ai un souvenir !
Je retournerai sans doute aux Canaries... mais pas en plein été où le vent est souvent très fort et le ciel chargé de nuages et de poussières du Sahara :-)

Lake Weyba, Qld, Australia.
The Lake Weyba Tree!
Me and my girlfriend went for a shoot to the lake last night.
A few years back I shot this composition at the lake with the Milky Way above this cool tree so I wanted to get an updated version of it and last night was perfect to do that, a 57% moon was setting in the west and I thought it might be too bright but it was so clear the Milky Way was shining brightly still.

Iso-6400 / 15secs / f2.8 / 12mm
A location that I discovered and shot last year, I decided to return this year and shoot it again. My original goal for this year was to get out for at least one nighttime shoot every month this year. With the Covid-19 situation and of coarse the unpredictability of the weather, this may or may not be possible. Shot in March (just barely; the 31st, 2020).
Shot with my Fuji X-H1 and Samyang 12mm f/2.0 @ f/2.8, (5)15 second shots + (1) dark frame, ISO 6400, 3800K WB, (1) LED panel used for LLL. Stacked in Sequator; final edits in Photoshop using a few Toapz plugins, DxO Viewpoint 3, and Blake Rudis' 5 Tone Heat Map actions.

Springtime Milky Way in central Estonia with faint hint of purple aurora.
Gear: Skywatcher Star Adventurer, Pentax K-50.
Stacked with Sequator and edited in Photoshop.
It is so dark at night that even a few minutes exposure (16mm f2.8) doesn't give a just so-so foreground shot. Luckily, I took a similar shot at the same place during the blue hour. The milky way was shot at 16mm f2.8 30sec ISO6400. I took seven consecutive shots to reduce noise in post-processing. A free software Sequator (for PC) is highly recommended to get the job done. I learned this software from "Milky Way Mike" on Youtube.
The milky way at Paringa, South Australia.
To the right is the banks of Mundic Creek.
Lots of subjects, including the pump shed, are being illuminated by a large orange coloured neon cross high on the Paringa Lutheran church.
There are lots of trucks heading along the Sturt Highway to the left.
