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.

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

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!).
Last night turned into rather an epic affair out with Tei. This location had been on my radar for a few years and last night, we decided was the night. My map reading skills beforehand proved poor at best. I thought it would be easy to get to but after a massive walk across Winnats and beyond we decided we had taken the wrong route pretty much from the offset. We stopped for a coffee and a quick couple of shots of the traffic driving up and down Winnats then headed back from whence we came. A few walls, muddy as anything fields and some rather startled sheep later we arrived here.
I grabbed two shots from here before needing to leave and this is my favourite.
10 shots for the stars (15 seconds, iso 1600 f1.8), 6 dark frames and a single light painted image (f5.6, iso400 and about 1 minute with my torch) combined in Photoshop and Sequator.
I think my phone thought it had been stolen by a marathon runner as the step count was about 26000 for the day which isn't me :)
The shot from Winnats Pass came out beautifully but as this has been in my list for so long it got the top spot.
Always great to catch up with Tei and I think without his getting shit done attitude I would have sacked it off and gone home early. Top man.

Meu primeiro registro da Nebulosa do Homem Correndo (NGC 1977).
Nebulosa do Homem Correndo: Você consegue enxergar um homem correndo nesta imagem? Bem, astrônomos conseguiram. É por esse motivo que a NGC 1977 ficou conhecida como a nebulosa “Running Man” (ou nebulosa do Homem Correndo). Essa nebulosa de reflexão está localizada a 35° ao norte da M42, a Grande Nebulosa de Órion. Ela é visível a olho nu, distante e difusa no céu, perto das três estrelas que formam o Cinturão de Órion. A grande parte azul da imagem é a luz das estrelas vizinhas refletidas em NGC 1977. A reflexão contrasta nitidamente com o avermelhado e com as grossas nuvens escuras de poeira situadas entre a NGC 1977 e Grande Nebulosa de Órion.

Leslie Gulch, Oregon, USA, a remote location near the Idaho border. This is the formation I went there to photograph, about 200' from the official campsite. I was outfitted for rattlesnakes, but didn't encounter any. 6 x 20s image exposures loaded into Sequator, which shows in the EXIF as a 120s exposure. Rokinon 20mm f/1.8. Lit with 2 LED panels.
Few things excite me more than capturing the universe above sites where ancient civilizations once gazed up at the same night sky. This photo was taken at the ruins of a Byzantine church in Ancient Nitzana (Nessana), deep in the Negev desert of Israel. Standing among these weathered columns, surrounded by centuries of history and silence, is a surreal experience—especially under the glow of the Milky Way. 🌠
To create this image, I combined 121 exposures, each 15 seconds long, stacking them in Sequator to bring out both the majestic Milky Way and the delicate details of the ancient ruins. My camera setup was a Sony Alpha 6400 (unmodified for astrophotography) paired with the Sony E 11mm F1.8 APS-C ultra-wide-angle prime lens—a compact but powerful kit. Despite not using any specialized astro-modifications, I was amazed at the clarity and depth I could achieve, especially in a place with such minimal light pollution. ✨
The final touches were made in Photoshop ️, balancing the warm, earthy tones of the columns with the cool, infinite expanse of the night sky. Ancient Nitzana was once a vital stop on the Incense Route, bustling with traders, pilgrims, and monks. Now, it’s mostly ruins and desert wind, but under the stars, the site feels alive—almost as if time folds, letting past and present meet for a brief, magical moment. ⏳
Nights like this remind me why I love astrophotography: it’s not just about capturing stars, but about connecting with history, geography, and something much larger than ourselves. This image is a tribute both to the people who built this church centuries ago, and to the wonder of the universe that continues to inspire us all. ✨🌍

If you ever get the chance to stand among ancient ruins under a sky like this, don’t miss it. The silence, the stars, and the stones together are unforgettable. 🌙

Minha primeira tentativa com a Nebulosa da Roseta (NGC 2237), a qual possui menos da metade do brilho da Nebulosa de Órion, tornando mais difícil o seu registro. Foram empilhados 27 frames de 5 minutos, totalizando 2 horas e 15 minutos de exposição (mesmo assim, pareceu ser necessário bem mais tempo, para melhorar o registro). Ainda preciso estudar muito mais sobre processamento.
NGC 2237 ou Nebulosa da Roseta é uma enorme nuvem de gás e poeira com cerca de 100 anos-luz de comprimento, também é conhecida por ser um gigante berçário estelar. Está localizada na direção da constelação do Unicórnio a 4 500 anos-luz de nosso sistema solar. Fonte: www.astronoo.com/

My first attempt with the Rosette Nebula (NGC 2237), which has less than half the brightness of the Orion Nebula, making it more difficult to register. 27 frames of 5 minutes were stacked, totaling 2 hours and 15 minutes of exposure (even so, it seemed that much more time was needed to improve the record). I still need to study much more about processing.
