I got up at 2:30 am this morning to see if I could spot Comet Neowise from my local country park.
When I got there, the low clouds were covering up the comet but I did get a good view of the Noctilucent Clouds, so I stayed a while to watch. I'm really glad I did as the clouds soon cleared away and gave me my first view of this comet.
Nikon D500, 70-200 f2.8 on a tripod. About 10 images, stacked in Sequator (which darkened the sky considerably!)
Hayshed under the stars. The sky is a stack of 9 shots, 10 seonds each, in Sequator. The foreground is a blend of 3 light painted shots, light painting by Richard Tatti. Processed in Lightroom, blending in Photoshop, Sigma lens.

We'll be returning to shoot historic Central Nevada after accessing Bodie, in our second June workshop June 10-15.
Vintage Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/2.8
Available light, on tripod.
Multiple exposures blended with Sequator
I'm quite happy about how this shot came out since i've tried to use a vintage lens to do it. Yeah, there is evident comma in the stars out of the center of the frame but all in all i like it!
Fantasy Canyon is, well, fantastic. It looks like a baby born to Bisti mother and Little Finland father. One cannot shake off the thought that once, in the past, the rock was liquid, then splashed, and instantly solidified into shapes unlike any rocks I have ever seen. This is a composite with the foreground light painted by bouncing a flashlight from nearby rocks to get a softer illumination of the same color. It took many experiments to find the right angle of the reflected light that would give the two figures engaged in a heated debate the most flattering light. The background is a stack of long high ISO exposures taken with the same lens focused to infinity. It took me about an hour to clean the sky from the dreaded trails left by Elon's garbage up there. Anyone else is majorly annoyed by his swarms?
Nikon Z7, 24-70mm f4
Foreground: Single shot at f11, ISO 800, 30mm, light painted from two directions
Background: Sequator stack of ten 10 sec. exposures at f4, ISO 3200, at 30mm, shot about an hour after sunset to still have some horizon glow for contrast and a shy MW for an added element.
Centaurus A (also known as NGC 5128 or Caldwell 77) is a galaxy in the constellation of Centaurus. It was discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop from his home in Parramatta, in New South Wales, Australia. Shot with Canon 5Dsr and SW Quattro 250 F/4. 10 x 55 sec frames stacked in Sequator.
Who says you can’t capture the Milky Way in November? You might not get the galactic core, but you can capture a portion of the great rift! This is a shot behind Somerset Mansion, looking out over Phelps Lake in Pettigrew State Park. Sky: 14 photos stacked in Sequator. Foreground: 5 shots blended in Photoshop for noise reduction. Everything blended in Photoshop.

Most mining-related sites are private property, but I was able to get permission to shoot this one.

Ok here we go, only my third real attempt as astro photography. No idea if the colours are accurate. I need more practice on the editing side for sure.
This is a 8 image stack using Sequator. Taken on misty hill top at Parys Mountain on Anglesey.
Lifeguard tower and star trails over Torrey Pines State Beach on January 22, 2020.
For this image, I used a Canon EOS R and Canon 17-40mm f/4L lens. Total exposure time 50.8 minutes at f/4 ISO 500. I stacked the images using Sequator, but not before spending over two hours removing LOTS of airplane trails from the sky (San Diego gets a lot of air traffic along the coast). Foreground illuminated by traffic on the street behind me here.

Dopo tanti anni ho avuto la possibilità di rivedere una cometa visibile chiaramente ad occhio nudo.
Anche se pubblicizzata come la cometa del secolo (ricordo che ancora mancano 76 anni al 2100) i giorni propizi per osservarla non sono stati poi tanti; inoltre la sua luminosità è stata disturbata dalla Luna piena. Comunque è stata una bella esperienza e poterla osservare ad occhio nudo è stato molto emozionante. Sono riuscito a fotografarla soltanto per 2 sere mentre dopo le condizioni meteo non lo hanno più permesso.

After many years I had the chance to see a comet clearly visible to the naked eye.
Even though it was advertised as the "comet of the century" (I remember that there are still 76 years to go until 2100) the favorable days to observe it were not that many; furthermore its brightness was disturbed by the full Moon. However it was a beautiful experience and being able to observe it with the naked eye was very exciting. I managed to photograph it only for 2 evenings while after that the weather conditions did not allow it anymore.

I tried this one with automatic exposure bracketing and starry sky stacking software. We're looking forward to our next Yosemite workshop with a lunar eclipse in the fall!
"The edges of twilight"
Mundaring Weir Western Australia on a Friday evening. Smoke from prescribed burns turned the horizon glow a pink/red hue. Was quite a few people shooting - great atmosphere.
After the wettest July in 20 years, the dam is looking quite full, which is also great.

Test drive of an Astro-modified Nikon Z 6-2. Didn't get the focus quite right though.
Pendinas reservoir near Llandegla in Wales. The aim for this evening was to capture stars reflected in water
The evening was warm and very froggy - thousands of frogs covered the paths!
16x 15 second shots at F2.2, stacked in Sequator. The stacking process created some aberrations in the star reflections, so blended the stack with a single frame in PS to try and cover up the bits that went wrong

Spruce Knob Lake, WV
Stacked in Sequator.
This composite is the result of 3 hours of imaging 8 second exposures on the hours leading up to the peak of the shower.
Browsing 975 images discovered around 45 meteors were captured. I used around 30 of the brightest to make this composition. Trajectory adjustments were made to counteract the earth rotation in order to make them appear all from the the radiant.
The brightest meteor was close enough to see a small illumination on the ground for s brief moment. Unfortunately I
looking in another direction when this one came in.
11 images stacked in Sequator to reduce noise
3 images used to light foreground

It was a rare clear night here on the farm, so I decided to go out and grab a Milky way photo before the moon rose. 15 shots stacked for the sky in Sequator, I then stacked the same photos in Photoshop for the foreground and then blended the two resulting photos in Photoshop.

Even though this was shot in JPEG, I have new post processing tools and so I re-worked this to use my new techniques.
This is five shots post processed in lightroom then merged in sequator. I like this result more. The previous version was a little to bright for me.
UGH on the Nikon d750. When I'm shooting at night I use the "info" button frequently to change my setting in the dark. Right above the ISO button is the "qual" button. I cannot tell you how many times I hit that on accident and went from RAW to JPEG. Do you know how hard it is to handle post-processing with a jpeg file of a shot taken at night. NIKON: do not have quality changeable with anything other than a menu item!!!
In my progression of shooting the night sky, I started with shooting star trails, and now I've gotten addicted to shooting the Milky Way. The problem, however, is that my camera won't capture it well because of ISO and file dynamic range issues (essentially the 60D is an older platform that just won't cut it). I've rented several cameras over the past couple of years so that I could play with it some, and now I'm simply trying to eek out a little more life out of my current system before upgrading to the 6Dm2. Anyway, to my eyes this image looks a bit "cooked", but it at least proves to me that it can be done, and I've learned the sweet spot for ISO vs usable stacked images. So, now I just need clear skies (and another trip to the Rockies!).
