As the Milky Way season progresses, I just had to return to a favorite place on a new moon. The core is nearly vertical this time of year!

At 10k feet in the Rocky Mountain National Park the skies open up for this months opportunity for the Milkyway.
I was high on Trail Ridge Road last night @ 10 pm to capture this . It was a bit difficult because the winds we gusting 50 -60 miles per hour. I had to use my truck to block the winds and it was cold @ 30 degrees.

Taking a shot with the milky way lining up perfectly over Cannon Beach has been a shot I have been after for the last few years. Being only a few days after the recent Perseid Meteor shower I managed to see a lot of shooting stars above me that night and I happened to capture some while waiting for the milky way to move into place. I had the pleasure of shooting with my buddy John, Lester Tsai Photography, and Melissa that night🌌

Ich habe es etwas unterschätzt, wie viel es doch ausmacht, wenn die Nächte so kurz sind. Selbst zur dunkelsten Stunde ist der Himmel nicht tief schwarz, sondern strahlt noch dunkelblau.
Dazu kommt noch, dass die Lichtverschmutzung im Vergleich zu 2016 deutlich zugenommen hat. (Im unbearbeiteten Bild leuchtet 1/3 des Himmels orange!) Dennoch kann man Jupiter und Saturn ganz gut erkennen.

This photo is an experiment, I exported the same photo 11 times as a tif file and stuck in Sequator. Then I did some work in LR.
Once again I set up my camera's intervalometer and walked away. Approximately 260 (30 second) exposures.
Merging the star-trail exposure with the lighter foreground exposure is not coming easy to me. I'm masking out the sky using Lumenzia but I think I am missing a step. I would like to bring some green in the tops of those trees. I'll figure it out.
These are fun.

Constelación de Casiopea y diversos objetos de dicha zona, tales como NGC 7789, conocida como Rosa de Caroline (arriba a la derecha), el objeto NGC 281 conocido como Nebulosa Pacman, Messier 103 o NGC 457.
Para realizar la fotografía se tomaron 50 fotografías sin guiado con un tripode de 8 segundos de obturación a ISO 1600 con un objetivo Nikon 50mm f/1.8 a f/2.8 y 30 darks con la misma configuración, se procesaron en Sequator y más tarde en Pixinsight.
After going to Budleigh and finding that the planned shot wouldn't work we ended up at Beer beach to shoot the milky way.
We had a few problems with my friends star tracker which resulted in us sharing my tracker, and after struggling to polar align my one (light pollution from the lights really don't help) we were both questioning our life choices as the tiredness started to kick in but it all proved worth it in the end.

Testing the new Sony 16-25mm f2.8 G, sharp!
Blending of 2 shots:
- Foreground at blue hour: 30s, f8, iso 100
- Sky at night: averaging of 64 shots of 15s, f2.8, iso 3200 using Sequator.
Foreground and sky merged in Photoshop
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).
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.

The Milky Way rises behind Joshua trees in the California desert. Joshua trees are an indicator species for the Mojave Desert ecosystem, stretching from Southern California into Nevada, Arizona and Utah.
The area with the most and largest Joshua trees is Joshua Tree National Park, but there are Joshua tree forests in Mojave National Preserve and Death Valley National Park as well.
Each of the two species of Joshua tree has its own unique species of Yucca moth. Neither the tree nor the moth can survive without the other. Artificial light contributes to the insect decline that many scientists have dubbed the "insect apocalypse." As the relationship between yucca moths and Joshua tree illustrates, the decline of many insects we may not be particularly aware of will have a serious cascading affect on many larger species that we weren't aware were in danger. As the trees go, bird, rodents and many other species will be impacted as the web of life in the Mojave ecosystem unravels. Light pollution isn't the moth's only threat, but we should do what we can to reduce the odds of ecosystem collapse.
Update May 2020: I replaced the original singe exposure with the result of 20 images stacked.
Single press of the shutter release, several adjacent images moderately post-processed (about 10 minutes from a time-lapse sequence).
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.

We'll be returning to shoot historic Central Nevada after accessing Bodie, in our second June workshop June 10-15.

Hallo zusammen
ich war wieder mal in der Nacht draussen um die Milchstrasse aufzunehmen. Gleichzeitig habe ich noch einen Timelapse gemacht. Meine Idee ist, ich bin hier noch nicht fertig, unser Dorf mit der Milchstrasse aufzunehmen, obwohl wir eine recht grosse Lichtverschmutzung bei uns haben (Region südlich von Basel).
Nun ist es so, das in unserem Dorf um 0030 Uhr die Strassenbeleuchtung ausgemacht wird und wir somit bei uns wieder etwas Nacht haben.
Für dieses Bild habe ich 16 NEF mit Sequator gestackt und dann in DxO bearbeitet. Jedes Bild wurde bei ISO 1600, f 1.8 und 13 sek belichtet.
Hoffe das Bild gefällt euch.
Gruss Martin
Star trail composed of 299 15 second images stacked with Sequator
Foreground composed of 12 light painted images blended along with the star trail images in PhotoShop
Once the Milky Way had moved from it's position behind the lighthouse I turned my attention to the cross we had been stood next to all night. We had taken up residence here to shelter from the wind but it would have been rude not to get a shot of it.
This is about 10 shots for the sky and 4 dark frames run through Sequator and then Lightroom.

My first Milky Way photo of 2019!
Ahh the Milky Way, i love the challenge of taking photos of it!
A: Find the location(Weather/Moon/clouds/light pollution etc)
B: Camera/Lens/Settings
C: Processing!
So when it comes to "C" i'm now taking 8-10 shots and stacking them in Sequator to get rid of the noise. But i'm finding my processing in LR is letting me down so i've just invested the Alynn Wallace Astro Workflow presets. And i'm pretty impressed even just after a 5 min mess around without reading the "intructions" and the above photo hasn't even been stacked!
More "natural" Milkyway photos to follow... once i work out these LR plugins!
The Moon was between Venus and Mars the day before, but moved closer to Mars on this next night
I photographed the moon above this massive fireplace chimney, Mars is below and to the right of the chimney.
(A permit is required to photograph this abandoned military base, so I won't be promoting its identity / location.)
This is 15 shots at 15 seconds each, including one at 30 seconds, of the rising Milky way, at ISO 6400 on 13/2/2024 at 0400hrs.
Stacked with Sequator.
There was a lot of fast moving clouds around at the time. It blocked out some of the milky way but added a different effect..
Some light pollution from townships and the South Eastern freeway bottom left.
The runway lights were on! No doubt rural Nevada airports are seeing usage like never before with the lithium mining rush underway. Apparently over 21,000 claims have been filed. So far.
We shoot here with proper permits. Remember, airports are critical infrastructure; don't risk an encounter with Homeland Security!

This is the Douglas Hollow Schoolhouse, an abandoned one-room structure out in the middle of nowhere in rural Wasco County, Oregon. It was supposedly built in the early 1900s, but information about it is extremely scarce. I saw a photograph of it on the internet, taken in 1954, that indicated it had been a grange hall in 1913. It was nearly destroyed in a massive wildfire in 2018, but firefighters cut a fire line right next to it and saved it.
This is a stack of 12 untracked 12-second exposures to reduce noise; stacking was done in Sequator. The building was illuminated with a palm-sized light panel during the exposures.
