The star alliance had established a small research base on this alien planet. I was the photographer for a team of scientists who were studying the effects a binary star system had on the development of life on a planet that circled the main star of the system.
In my log for star date 06-15-2323 I wrote:
"The near star had already set, but the more distant companion was still blazing in the sky, keeping the night from being completely dark.
I had ventured out not too far from the research base to enjoy the night sky and to take a break from exploring the interesting geological features in the immediate surroundings of our temporary home, the lights of which can be seen in the distance.
I was getting somewhat alarmed at deep grunting noises I heard nearby when suddenly this three-legged Arboritosaurus appeared in front of me. Fortunately it was really old and decrepit, just wanting to basically photobomb my image. It was posturing a little, letting me know that I was in its territory. Not being deterred by the essentially harmless plant eater, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get some close-up shots of this rather rare creature."
Leitz Leica Elmarit 35mm f2.8, a vintage lens.
Sky: six 300 sec photos, iso 800, f:4 at 18mm; stacked with StarryLandscapeStacker, processed with Photoshop and PixInsight.
For the ground a single photo before sunset.
Keg Spring is at the base of the wall at the head of the canyon, in the center of the frame. A small stream flows from the spring, and a few miles downstream this canyon has a confluence with the Green River in the Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness.
Seven land shots were taken while the sliver of a moon was approaching the western horizon--the wan light illuminated the left-hand side of the canyon. Twenty-two minutes after the moon set I took the 30 shots for the starry sky featuring the Milky Way.
Land Shots (7): ISO 4000, 14mm, f 2.8, 225 sec--stacked for the composite in PhotoShop.
Star Shots (30): ISO 6400, 14mm, f 2.5, 15 sec--star shots rotated in StarryLandscapeStacker so that stars resolved to points of light
sky 9 frame's @20 sec ,f4, iso 6400 stacked with 5 dark frame's in StarryLAndscapeStacker. Foreground single shot 98 sec ,f4 at iso 6400 blended in PS.
Went camping this weekend in Ontario and found a great water front view of the milky way.
This image is a composition of 5 pictures taken with high ISO (3200) blended to remove the noise.
Temple of the Moon rises 285 feet from the floor of Cathedral Valley, in the northern primitive section of Capitol Reef National Park in Utah. The Milky Way is our galaxy, a large part of which is shown here. I wonder if its size can really be comprehended by the human mind--it is 100,000 light years across and it contains 100,000,000,000 (one hundred billion) stars.
The dark portions of the Milky Way are interstellar clouds of dust or gases (helium or hydrogen) that occlude portions of the Milky Way that would otherwise glow brightly. Can you find the Dark Horse Nebula?
This image was finished in Photoshop by combining a composite of the stars with a composite of the terrestrial landscape. Five landscape images (225 sec, ISO 5000, F 2.8) were stacked in photoshop to make one composite. Thirty-four images (13 sec, ISO 6400, F 1.8) were rotated in StarryLandscapeStacker to focus the stars as bright points of light for the celestial composite.
Three photos of 240 sec, f:3.5, iso 1000 at 18mm;
Stacked with StarryLandscapeStacker and processed with PixInsight and Photoschop.
Made from 20 light frames (captured with a Canon camera) by Starry Landscape Stacker 1.6.1. Algorithm: Mean
The Milky Way is seen above Two Mile Canyon, in the Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness, Utah.
This is a composite photo, made from 20 shots of the sky (f 2.8, ISO 6400, 13 sec) rotated in StarryLandscapeStacker to focus the stars as points of light. Six landscape shots (f 2.8, ISO 5000, 225 sec) were stacked in photoshop to bring out details in the landscape. These two composite photos were joined in Photoshop.
Shot with a Sigma 14 mm F1.8 DG HSM Art lens (not 85 mm!)

Factory Butte's tallest spire reaches over 1,500 feet above the surrounding plateau, but its height is dwarfed by this juxtaposition with the galactic center of the Milky Way.
Bob Maynard, Gene Spiess and I waited for hours for clouds to clear before stars were dimmed by astronomical twilight and ensuing dawn. But clouds were in no hurry, so the lower portion and left edge of this frame are obscured.
A stark landscape, ominous clouds, glorious sky.
This image joins a stacked landscape composed of 5 frames (ISO 5000, f 2.8, 205 sec) with a rotated starscape (StarryLandscapeStacker) composed of 16 frames (ISO 6400, f 2.8, 13 sec).
Enjoying a cold spring night at a lookout tower under the Milky Way. On the fence about how this one turned out....

Colonnade Arch is a buttressed alcove, with three windows opening to the south and two opening upward. The alcove and most of the landscape in this photo are in the Labyrinth Canyon of the Green River, immediately north of Canyonlands.
This window has a view of Two Mile Canyon, which flows to the east (left in this image) into the Green River in Labyrinth Canyon.
The landscape was lit solely by starlight. Eight landscape photos (f 2.8, ISO 6,400, 206 sec) were blended or stacked in Photoshop; 36 photos of the stars (f 2.8, ISO 6400, 13 sec) were rotated by StarryLandscapeStacker so that stars were bright, focused points of light. The composite land image and composite star image were joined in Photoshop.
An image from Arches NP used Starry Landscape Stacker with 20 images for the sky. Its against Park regulations to use any light painting but if you get lucky a cars headlight will come by and help you out.
Luck was with me on a trip to the McInnis Canyon National Conservation Area, for I had an April night sky devoid of clouds, with exceptionally clear air. Castle rocks, in Rabbit Valley, provided the foreground and a starry sky did the rest. A pack of coyotes, called "song dogs" by some ranchers, serenaded me.
I used 25 shots of the sky (ISO 6400, f/2.5, 13 sec) rotated by StarryLandscapeStacker to resolve the stars to points of light. Six shots of the landscape (ISO 5000, f/2.8, 225 sec) were stacked in Photoshop to provide good detail. The only light for landscape shots was starlight--no supplemental lighting. The composite of the starry sky and the composite of the landscape were joined in Photoshop.
-Recalling vivid moments, 2017 photo taken with a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer mount and an astromodified Canon 60D. The shot consists of six photos at iso 1,000 and 270 sec exposure, taken with a Walimex 24 at 1.4.
Stacked StarryLandscapeStacker and processed with PixInsight and Photoshop.
All this equipment was sold at the time to make way for new projects.
