Ok it's not America is the Dartington cider press centre where an old American school bus has been converted to the Devon rum school.
The light pollution from the street lights made competition difficult along with controlling the exposure
This shot is a 3 shot vertical panorama with 15 frames stacked to make each shot in sequator.

Milky way on meadow near the Liberec. It was -1°C and 77% humidity. Panorama is consist of 5×5 photos, stacked in Sequator.
After meeting up with an out of town photographer at the Bodie Island Lighthouse, he asked if there were any other spots that were good for astro. I told him of a nearby place that was excellent for it. He persuaded me to show him the spot. I grabbed two compositions, this one being the second. I did light paint the life saving station, but I liked the orange glow presented by the rising moon. This was a composite of 15 photos stacked in Sequator for the sky. I picked the best 5 photos (Cars were on the bridge in the background) and aligned and stacked in Photoshop. The two resulting images were then blended in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking
Hot Creek flows down from Mammoth Lakes and becomes geothermally heated as it mixes with another source. These steam effusions are the result of the ambient temp being below freezing in this case(23 F) and the flowing creek water being much warmer or even hot. There are periodic geysers as well that shoot 6ft straight up. People are no longer permitted to swim here as there have been 14 deaths in recent years.
This is a vertical pano with the DFA 90mm 2.8 Macro lens on the 645Z, composite image. The sky incorporates about 12 8-sec exposures, fed into Sequator and Star XTerminator for processing. Foreground uses 6 high ISO frames, median blended for noise reduction with some spot edits here and there.
Hope you like it!
This is a lovely spot on the shore of Llyn Brenig, with several photogenic subjects close together. Here, a rickety old fence stretches out into the glassy water
32x 13 second shots, F2.5, ISO1600, stacked in Sequator for noise reduction
A night panorama of the Milky Way passing in front of a large cave entrance.
It's a long, rough, sandy road to get there, worse than driving in to White Pocket, with trees scratching the sides of your vehicle for the last several miles. It's not appropriate for tall vehicles.
There was a guy with a camera that had poor high ISO performance, so he had bright light panels set up and was taking 5 and 10-minute exposures for over an hour. I believe this was captured after he dimmed them to 5% power.
I combined 24 images to create this panorama image. The Milky Way is exactly where it was in each image; no layers or Photoshop were used to fake or substitute the sky.
No compositing/time-shifting.
No tracking mount.
No noise images, no long exposure foreground images.
No new camera or back-lit sensor.
No multiple focal lengths, no focus stacking.
No Photoshop, no layers, no sky or foreground substitution (just Lightroom and a shareware app or two).
Night photography doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming, or involve special gear beyond camera, lens, tripod. Many cameras produced in the last 13 years and probably all in the last 4-8 years can capture shots like this. I've re-processed images and produced great results from my 2009 Canon 5D Mark II and crop sensor 70D. Join our workshops to find out how!
The main course after the beautiful sunset was equally delicious. The clouds moved over and let the stars have a turn.
I did some stacked shots in Sequator but the singles from just after blue hour were more pleasing on the eye.
I just wish I was an little more hardocore so I could have stuck around for the Milkyway rising just after 3 but I'm not.
I'm sure I'll be back again soon as this place is so beautiful after dark.
This night I planned shooting perseids, but this has been created from it. :D It was very cold night 4°C and 70% humidity.
Shooted at 3:02 and compose from 10 photos of sky (iso3200, f3.5, 20s), foreground (iso6400, f4, 120s), stacked in Sequator.

(Update: Mystery solved, the satellite was CSO 1, a French military imaging satellite. Thanks ehrwien for pointing me toward Stellarium!)
Colorful and bright Perseid meteor traveled "up" from the bottom left of the frame, and much later a mystery satellite crossed right in the middle of Andromeda.
I don't know what this satellite was, maybe it's one of SpaceX's starlink sats? It went across the entire frame from left to right starting at around 2:54 AM Pacific DST on Aug/15 2020, but the leftmost part was cut because it was between two frames.
Interesting that the color of the meteor changed during the flight, greenish at first and later turning into orange. This is real, it's there in a single frame before any post-processing.
Shot from my heavily light-polluted back yard. Total exposure 1150 sec, each either 30 or 40 sec at ISO3200. I first made a stack of 1150 sec using sequator, loaded it in photoshop, then loaded two individual frames containing meteor and satellite, respectively, as separate layers, used visibility mask to only blend the trajectory into the stack.
BTW no tracking mount was used, this was all done on a weeny travel tripod, fine tracking was all done by the camera (Astrotracer to move the sensor), and a rough "tracking" was done manually each 10 minutes or so by moving the ballhead.
With green airglow in the sky, we arrived back at the parking lot with a couple of minutes to spare, so we went to a nearby puddle that I had scouted earlier for a quick reflection shot before departing.

My first attempt using the Sony a1 for astrophotography. It is somewhat noisier, but still usable. For this shot of the Tuolumne River cascade under the Milky Way I combined 5 shots in Sequator. Each shot was taken with the Sony 16-35mm lens at 19mm, ISO 6400, 15 seconds, f/2.8. I find it interesting that Sequator kept the pinpoint stars, but allowed the moving clouds to blur as if they were taken with a longer exposure.
Been working on processing improvements for star stacking using Sequator software (free)
This is the Spanish Peak mountains and Milky Way, taken from our deck.
Very first try of astrophotography at this nice spot in val d'Orcia, Tuscany

This is an image part of the constellation Scorpius. It shows the bright yellow star Antares and Scorpius Head area with the colourful Rho Ophiuchi nebulosity field.
I took this image straight after I photographed the milkyway arch over Mt Ruapehu in my previous upload.
This image is a stack of 5 photos taken with my 105mm Sigma lens. Tracked for 60 secs each. ISO 3200, F/4. Stacked in Sequator and some PP in Affinity Photo.
The inset at the top left shows where you can find Rho Ophiuchi in the sky with reference to the brightest part (the core) of our galaxy.
If you are in an area dark enough you can see this constellation with your naked eye.
I spent my holidays this year with my son's camera on La Reunion.
This image was taken from a RAW, from which 10 TIFF were generated in LR. The TIFF files were stacked with Sequator. The result again slightly reworked in LR.
I had this image in mind for a long time before I was able to capture it. It's a remote place, it's generally too hot during Milky Way season, it requires a hike on sand carrying camera gear, and sensor noise can be particularly high in the heat.
On my first visit, by the time the sky was as dark as it was going to get, the temperature was still 93 degrees! Not conducive to a hike on sand, and at that temperature digital sensors perform poorly. I definitely missed the coolness of higher altitudes!
I returned for the same Milky Way position the following year, and the temperatures were much more comfortable for me and for the sensor.
Re-processing a bracketed image sequence from July 2016.
Single press of the shutter release, several adjacent images moderately post-processed (about a minute to capture and a couple of minutes to adjust). Done.
No compositing/time-shifting.
No tracking mount.
No noise images, no long exposure foreground images.
No special lighting, or added light.
No new camera or back-lit sensor.
No multiple focal lengths, no focus stacking.
No Photoshop, no layers, no sky or foreground substitution (just Lightroom and a shareware app or two).

I was hoping to catch the comet near several of Bodie's iconic subjects as the comet stayed up into darkness, but the clouds had other ideas.
To reduce noise I stacked three exposures in the Sequator software: www.jeffsullivanphotography.com/blog/2020/05/14/stacking-...
Como suelo hacer en mis sesiones nocturnas, me gusta siempre traerme una panorámica con el arco galáctico completo, y esta vez la cosa estaba mas fácil por el cielo y por la época del año, es la ideal para lograr captar este tipo de imágenes.

The milkyway as observed in Devon, England, during my stay at Astro Adventures. Condition were not perfect but good. MFT limititations can be annoying when shooting astro. Nevertheless, thanks to Sequator stacking software, at least an acceptable result can also be produced with a small sensor camera. 13 photos stacked, Samyang 12 mm, 2.0, 20 s, ISO 3600
Being able to catch the rising Milky Way in late May and early June makes some of my favorite compositions available in Bodie!
I'm looking forward to being back there in late May this year... only about 6-7 weeks from now.

Taking an image like this was something I had aspirations of. Meeting Royce Bair and getting his ebook made this possible. I will always be grateful for his friendship and mentoring. Purchasing Royce's ebook was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Last spring I spent a week with four good friends shooting the Milky Way in the Moab area. One of the spots we wanted to go to was Corona Arch. The night we chose for Corona turned out to be cloudy and stars were not to visible. It is a beautiful 1.5 mile hike to the arch with spectacular Moab scenery,
This picture is a "composite stack blend". The original picture of Corona Arch was taken during a cloudy night last spring. D7200, f-4.0, ISO1600, 11 mm, 30 sec, Tokina AT-X 166PRO DX 11-16mm F2.8 lens.
The Milky Way picture was taken in September when the core naturally aligns in this position. There are a total of 5 pictures of the Milky Way stacked in Sequator. The Milky Way pictures were taken With a D750, Tokina SD 16-28 F2.8 {IF} FXlens at f-2.8, 4000 ISO for 15 sec.
