It was a quiet night on the Lake Mattamuskeet Causeway, plenty of time to set up in the middle of the roadway and take 10 photos to stack. I threw a little light onto the roadway for two of the photos. Stacked the sky in Sequator. Took the resulting file and blended with the light painted frames in Photoshop.

My Parents booked a holiday home as a "post lock down"* treat for the family. A lovely place in Mid Wales. The night sky was great with a bit off moonlight and a i couldn't resist taking a couple of photos, even though i was a bit tipsy!

This is the composition, using Sequator (free software to align the stars of different night shots of a work session), with the best photos including shooting stars.
I could see more than 50 shooting stars around the constellation of gemini, but I lost a lot of them (not captured in the photos) because they fell while the camera was in waiting period (time interval) between consecutive shots.
An externally lit shot of the old ruined homestead in Marradong about 8kms south of Boddington, Western Australia. Messier 7 Ptolemy's cluster can be seen directly over the roof just to the right of the chimney stacks, and this is the southernmost Messier object at a distance of 980 light years.
How I created this image:- comprised of 27 images in a three frame vertical panorama,
Each frame is a stack of nine images all at f/2.2 10s ISO 6400 stacked in Sequator, the three stacks then stitched using MSICE.

My first attempt trying out Sequator star stacking. This image is a stack of 9 images, f2.8, 15 seconds and ISO3200. Thanks to Mark Waidson for the tip about Sequator. Any suggestions would be most welcome!
The title for the image is adapted from a line from an old Doctor Who episode.

thank you for stopping by!
no need to leave comments, unless it becomes unbearable to hold it ;) ~beer/bear hugs~

plenty of balance in ~rubbernecking~ so it's about time for disruption.
just before the sunrise, the last enjoyment of the night, I did not think that the East side would work considering that the astronomical twilight was already happening and a 36 exposures pano takes time, framed for likely trimmed left side. processed it and.. yeah, I'll just go with the complete pano, no trimming *sic*

| made 18 FG exposures @72 sec also but it looked like the noise in the star frames was manageable so I didn't use them |

Log cabin house in Independence, Texas near the old Baylor University state park.
Each trail a star represents an hour of the earth's rotation. To make the trail I took 275 13second exposures stacked in sequator. The central point is close to the north star Polaris. The log cabin was lit by both landscape lighting at the park and flashlights over 10 images, then blended in Photoshop

While on holidays in Cyprus, I had the opportunity to explore deep sky astrophotography.
My first attempt at doing stacked astrophotography, but thankfully sequator made it relatively painless.

This ancient rock formation provides the perfect foreground subject for a stitched and stacked night panorama. It lies between ridges inhabited by bighorn sheep and mountain lions, and unfortunately the long road to get there is well known for puncturing and delaminating tires.
This was captured during one of our "adventure series" trips that we've been taking in March or April in Death Valley National Park: www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/death-valley-adventure-ma...
Early this year (spring 2022) we eliminated a couple of roads off of our itinerary when we determined ahead of the workshop that they were only marginally and questionably passable. We heard no reports that this road was in particularly bad shape, but there were sections where drivers deviated entirely out of the roadbed to get around difficult portions, and we did get one vehicle (with 37-inch tires, 4WD and extra clearance) stuck for a while. On a prior trip I repaired and re-inflated three flat tires. We carry a range of tire repair options to help pother vehicles we find along the road. We also bring rescue boards and tow straps, but fortunately haven't had to use them yet. After the heavy rains later in 2022, even the paved roads are washed out and many of the unpaved ones will be even more torn up. But as the saying goes, getting there is part of the adventure! We had one client this year who had never been camping before, and she had a blast on the trip in her rental Jeep!

I was looking for a nice quiet, out of the way spot to get another Milky Way session. I came across the Price Lake Picnic Area right on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Unfortunately there weren’t many compositions to be had. So I went with the porta potties. Regardless, it was a great night under the stars and there weren’t any headlights to mess up my shots. I shot 25 frames, and used all of them stacked in Sequator, I then took 10 of the frames and stacked in Photoshop for the foreground. I then blended the two photos in photoshop for the final photo.

This was taken Tuesday evening last week 21st July at midnight. It was taken at Pagham Harbour Mouth close to high tide. Pagham Harbour is a nature Reserve so is a section of darkness between the coastal light pollution. The Comet to the naked eye is quite faint. The final result was much brighter due to the camera settings and the stacking of images.
This was taken with a Tamrom 18-200 lens at 40mm at F5 13 seconds and 1600 ISO. 10 pictures were taken and stacked together using free Sequator software which aligns stars together. It was taken looking NNE towards the South Downs 8 miles away and visible in the distance but flat until there. This made it ideal for an object close to the horizon
After processing in Sequator the image was taken into Photoshop and then processed in Topaz Clarity and Topaz DeNoise.
The Comet is visible all of July and was at its closest approach on 23 July and from now on will gradually fade..

Moonbeams, Milky Way and meteors! From the first few minutes my camera was running on the peak night of the Perseid meteor shower.
I'll have some time-lapse footage available shortly.
It is typical and expected to see and capture non-Perseid meteors in these types of shots. In addition to the Perseids, there were also meteors coming from the North delta Aquarids, South delta Aquarids, South Iota Aquarids, Piscis Austrinids, alpha Capricornids and sigma Capricornids, kappa Cygnids, all active on the same night. And those are just the active pre-identified showers with radiant points named and located on the Starwalk app; there are also sporadic meteors, with no named radiant.

The Milky Way sets over the Indian Ocean at a well known surf break called The Spot. The Dark Horse is now in the orientation that I can recognise it clearly, it’s central in the image. Rho Ophiuchi is glistening as it descends slowly into the atmosphere and the head of Scorpius is just above the water, it followed the moon which was a waxing crescent at 27% and had set around 11:12PM the glow of which you can still see on the horizon.
The image is constructed from 5 frames.
Four frames for the foreground and one frame for the sky. The sky was six tracked exposures which were stacked in Sequator. Final blend in PS.

Made a special trip out to Pea Island last night to capture the Milky Way rising above the Life Saving Station. I wouldn’t have found this composition if it weren’t for my son Brandon. We were out scouting on Thursday night, and he led me down to the water where we stumbled on this scene. 15 exposures for the sky, blended in Sequator. 3 exposures for the foreground, two were light painted and one just for the lamp.
