Estamos en temporada de vía láctea, así que el otro día fui con unos amigos al castillo de Chirel en Cortes de Pallás (Valencia), donde se encuentra este fabuloso castillo.
La idea era hacer el arco de la Vía Láctea con el castillo de fondo.
Tras un viaje de casi dos horas en coche desde Alicante, y media de hora de camino forestal con una subida bastante acusada de desnivel, llegamos al sitio.
A nuestro grupo de amigos se unieron tres fotógrafos de Valencia y alrededores, muy buena gente, hicimos sitio, plantamos los trípodes en una roca al lado del castillo bastante agreste y con grandes caídas cerca, por el poco espacio, pero gracias al buen compañerismo hicimos cada uno nuestra foto sin problema, incluso compartimos la cena.
Una gran experiencia que terminó con esta foto.
Espero que os guste.
Saludos.

Milky Way at St. Michaels Mount, Marazion, Cornwall.

Had a few Flickr free days camping in Cornwall. before going I'd researched Milky Way times and the tide times and was crossing my fingers for some clear night skies. As it happened the first night I was down there it was forecast to be clear and the tide times meant the causeway would be almost clear by the time the MW Core came out. I didn't really feel like it but kicked myself to go out as Had not managed to get the Milky Way last few months. I had taken my MSMN star tracker with me and was rusty with it so with the Core only being visible for 30min I was a bit rushed/stressed. I had also hoed to get a Blue Hour shot of the Mount but arrived too late and trying to focus on it when there is so little light was very difficult and it wasn't until I got them on my monitor I thought the focus was sharp enough to use.
The image is a composite of a long exposure f/8 image fior the causeway, a shot trying to focus on the lights on The Mount and 2 x 3min Star tracked Milky Way images stacked in Sequator.
It's not the best Milky Way image on here but I'm pretty happy with how it's turned out all-in-all especially as I thought I had no usable images of the Mount and I'm just glad I got to see the Milky Way again as so many of the times the core has been potentially visible we've had cloud. Star trails is next on my list of things to trial.
In our industrialised western world, places and opportunities to see the zodiacal light have become quite rare.
I therefore feel very grateful for being able to experience such an impressive phenomenon relatively close to my home.
This scenic skyscape was taken in early November 2021 in the “Starpark Hohe Dirn”, a mountain site just south of the Upper Austrian city of Steyr. At 1105m elevation and with nothing but the Alpine mountains to the south, the zodiacal light is clearly visible even to the unaided eye.
A perfect spot for astronomy, as evidenced by the dome of a private observatory.

The Milky Way at 50mm always looks huge and dominating, as it does in this shot at a pond in central Oregon. This was 13 9-second exposures at 50mm, stacked in Sequator. The "dark horse" nebula is prominent here in upper right. Do you see it?

From early Monday morning at Mono Lake, CA. The Milky Way drifts above a curious field of delicate sand tufas. The dry lake bottom erodes slowly to reveal these intricate structures in the sand. If you guessed that was Venus on the rise left of frame, you would not be incorrect.
I used my LLLS (low level light on a stick) to light paint the tufa bank. Stars are stacked 8 sec exposures.
Lens is the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. For stacking, I finally tried Sequator and it works very well for freezing the foreground while compositiing all the star exposures in place.
I hope you like this one.
Took this image at 4am in the morning at the iconic balanced rock in Arches NP. I used the light glow from Moab to backlight the tree on the right. This is 7 untracked images stacked in Sequator. Hope you all enjoy and thanks for any constructive comments.

Nikon D850 and Nikon 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 14mm and f/2.8 for all shots. Sky: Star stacked blend of 10 exposures @ 10 seconds, ISO 8000. Stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker, which is only available on Mac, but Sequator for Windows can do this too. You can do it in Photoshop or other deep space stacking programs, but Starry Landscape Stacker or Sequator make the process of masking out the foreground for proper alignment of the stars much simpler. The result is pinpoint stars with low noise. Foreground: Blend of 2 exposures, 1 @ ISO 6400 for 2 minutes for the texture in the water, another at ISO 1600 for 16 minutes for detail in the cliffs and trees. The 2 minute exposure provided some nice texture in the water that wasnât too smoothed out like the 16 minute exposure. All shots were taken in the same spot on the same night. The sky and foreground exposure where blended using manual masking in Photoshop to create a final image with everything in good focus and fairly low noise from the cliffs to the stars.

Taken over new moon with my modified Canon 6D and the Samyang 24mm lens at f/2 for the sky. f/8 for the foreground.
The sky is a 12 pane panorama with each pane taken at 2 x 80s ISO1600 on my Omegon star tracker. The foreground is 12 x30s at ISO200.
Sky images stacked in Sequator and then stitched in Microsoft ICE. Foreground stitched in Microsoft ICE. All processing carried out in Siril and GIMP.
Included a bit of light painting to show my support to the Ukrainian people.
I made my apologies and tiptoed between the sleeping residents. I never noticed the light in the window. Apparently the Church opens only one day a year. I wonder what was glowing in there.

Comet C-2022 E3 (ZTF), aka The Green Comet captured from my back garden in Devon. I captured it using a Tamron 150-600 G2 lens at 600mm attached to my Nikon D750. It was untracked so I had to keep the exposure low to around 4 secs and then took 17 images and stacked in Sequator.

'Double Take'
One of my local 'bucket list' images is capturing the Milky Way over Meldon Reservoir when there is sufficient rain to cause the over-spill to flow. However, as the MW is only in the right position in summer and the over-spill is only likely to flow in the winter , this is unlikely to happen.
So, given so much enforced time at home, I have combined two of my shots at Meldon, one recently and one last summer, to create the image I crave. It will have to satify me for now. Hope you enjoy it too.

Vertical Milky Way over Mount Bromo in East Java, Indonesia.
This is the first time I am using the so-called stacking technique to process the Milky Way. This technique is used to reduce the noise, specially when shooting at very high ISO.
I was using the Nikon Z7 & Nikkor Z 14-30mm f/4, so the widest aperture I could use was f/4.
Shooting at 14mm and in order to get a sharp milky way, I applied the NPF Rule, which recommends to use 15s exposure (instead of the 500 rule which would allow 500/14=35s). Therefore I had to increase the ISO to 16,000.
So I took 9 consecutive exposures (ISO 16,000 f/4 15s), plus one so-called 'Dark Frame' and used the Sequator software to stack all the exposures.
For the foreground, I used a separate exposure at ISO 4000 f/4 144s.
60 Einzelaufnahmen der Milchstraße, zusammengefügt mit Sequator und nachbearbeitet in Lightroom, sind das Resultat dieses Bildes. Dadurch werden Details sichtbar, die für den Menschen unsichtbar sind. Das Licht von Galaxien, Nebel und Sternen wird dabei mit jedem Foto intensiver und es entstehen Aufnahmen wie diese.
Great few days away with Phill F, Paul from Lace and his brothrer Terry.
We got onto Llandwyn just before sunset then waited an hour or so for the darkness to ascend and the Milky way to appear.
I don't think I've ever seen so many stars in my life before.
This is 6 shots at iso 10,000, 4 dark frames all run through Sequator.
Great times in top company. Happy days.
Just a fuzzball. Not as photogenic as Neowise. But I wanted to shoot it anyway. ;-)

This is a composite of eight shots (fifteen seconds per shot) imported into Sequator. The trail of light to the right of center (composed of eight segments corresponding to the number of exposures) is from a satellite moving from SE to NW. A cloudless sky along with the company of my firstborn son made for a real treat.

Ambient temperature and sensor heat was beginning to become a problem, even during a relatively cool weather week at 2am. I've shot the Milky Way in Death Valley in September and October, and the ambient heat and resulting sensor noise is a huge issue, even at 11pm.
Milky Way over Neavitt, Maryland (August 12, 2021). It was a little tough to get this shot due to fog and light pollution, but generally happy given the circumstances. EM1.3 using 12mm prime, ISO 1250, 15 sec (processed with Sequator using 20 frames).

Approximately 65 meteors captured in 750 25-second images at 16mm focal length, from 11:49pm - 5:12 am on the peak night of the Geminid meteor shower, December 13-14. The background image showing zodiacal light on the left and a bit of the Milky Way on the right is 10 images stacked and aligned, centered before the approaching dawn around 4:48am.
The Geminids are getting stronger, and peak every three years, so before this year's Geminids it was said that this could be the most active meteor shower of our lifetimes (so far). While I was watching, it was amazing! Will 2023 be even better?
I set a Canon intervalometer to trigger continuous shots on my Canon 5DMarkIV until I turned the camera off or the dual batteries ran out.
I don't edit my results to move meteor from where they occur because there are three other meteor showers with radiant points active near the Geminids, The Chi Orionids, the Monocerotids, the Sigma Hydrids plus three more near the southern horizon at this time of night, plus random meteors not associated with a known shower. They should not all point to the same radiant point... in my experience shooting the more active showers as often as possible over the past 12 years, if you capture enough meteors over enough time, they almost never do. Images that show sanitized, fanciful interpretations showing dozens of meteors perfectly pointing to a single radiant point look severely faked to me, not unlike "giant moon" shots faked from multiple focal lengths.
Next year’s Geminid meteor shower will have major moon interference, so we couldn’t afford to miss this year’s display. Fortunately, driving a camper, we were entirely self-contained and able to avoid late 2020 concerns such as people and indoor spaces (including public restrooms).
The milky way rises behind a pair of giant boulders of the Aeolian Buttes along Hwy 395 near Mono Lake. Miguel and I did some light painting to kickoff the adventure, and due to the lateness of the hour, camped here as well.
Big. Gigantic. Ants.
This is a composite using the DFA 25mm f/4 on the 645Z. I used my headlamp for most of the light painting. A series of ground exposures were blended for noise reduction, as well as approx 22, 13 sec exposures, at ISO 6400, processed with Sequator.
Yup, that is Miguel looking Lilliputian in the midground.
Thanks for looking.
Milky Way over a decaying tree in the old deer park next to Chirk castle
Today is the Summer solstice, the sky isn't completely dark, good enough for a Milky Way capture though

Still on the learning curve capturing and processing Deep Sky images. This was taken in July this year but only now happy with the end result of processing.
Capture Details:
Standard EOS-R and FRA400 telescope on CEM40 mount with no guiding.
1 hour 27 minutes of data from 29 of 30 frames stacked.
DSS to check quality, Sequator to stack, then Starnet, Photoshop and Topaz to finish.
The field of view is 5 degrees x 3 degrees, so the area of sky covered by this photo is wide enough that 10 full moons could be stacked in a line across the width of this photo.
Carina Nebula (NGC3372) is a large star forming region visible in the southern night sky. The red clouds show one of the largest Hydrogen gas regions in the Milky Way.
Carina nebula is four times larger than the better known Orion Nebula that many know how to find in the night sky. But how many can find the Carina Nebula? If you are in the Southern hemisphere head outside and find the Southern Cross. Now find the two pointers. Imagine flipping the pointers to the other side of the Southern Cross and look for a bright spot in the Milky Way in this area. It may not be visible if you are in the city, but can be seen from rural skies.
This nebula was discovered by Nicholas Louis de Lacaille during a two year journey from France including one year based at the Cape of Good Hope in 1751 and 1752 where he charted positions of 9,800 stars in the night sky. Amazing considering he was using a 0.5 inch diameter refractor telescope with 26 inch focal length (660 mm). making the scope a very dim f52.

The Milky Way shines bright over Lassen Peak as seen from the shores of Manzanita Lake. Jupiter and Saturn can be seen flanking the left and right sides, respectively, of the Milky Way's central core. A 5-day old moon provided just enough illumination for the lake, the forest, and the peak itself. Snow persists on the peak year round, and when I went at the time of this photo, many of the attractions in the southern portion of the park remained closed due to snow!
The colors of the sky are natural but enhanced to show details invisible to the unaided eye.
Image is a composite, consisting of:
* 5 tracked shots of the sky, exposed at 60" f/2.0 ISO 1600. A Star-Adventurer Mini was used for the tracking.
* 5 untracked shots of the landscape, same exposure settings.
* Dark and flat frames, to correct for vignetting and sensor noise.
All exposures were preprocessed in RawTherapee. I used Sequator to stack the tracked shots of the sky, and GIMP G'MIC plugin to stack the untracked shots. The resulting frames were then blended, processed, and finished entirely in GIMP. Overall, processing took about 14 hours of effort.
Captured via Sony a6500 and Sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens.
Thank you all for explore! This photograph was truly a labor of love and my most challenging edit to date.

Sky: 16 shots @ iso 3200 f2.8 15s, averaged in sequator to reduce the noise and processed into lightroom (heavy push of dehaze and clarity)
Exposure blended in photoshop. Then, heavy cleaning of the picture:
- Removing of 4 boats that were blurry and unpleasing IMO mostly with the stamp tool and a bit of AI
- Dodge and burn with the radial mask and exposure/light cursors. First step is to balance the light.
- Edges curating where the blending was not perfect.
- Final editing back in Lightroom. Again some dodge and burn but this time the goal is to make the image pop.
