The Milky Way on the coast of the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick.
It might be hard to tell in a small online image, but the white dots in the largest pothole in the rocks closest to the lens are reflections of the stars.
This is one of those shots that had been a year in the making. The timing didn’t work out for me last year, but this year I got lucky with a clear night after some heavy rain and wind storms came through the Canadian Maritimes.
Nikon Z 7 with FTZ lens adapter and NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 14mm and f/2.8 for all shots.
Sky: Star stack of 20 exposures at ISO 3200, 8 seconds each. The exposures were stacked for pinpoint stars and low noise in Starry Landscape Stacker for Mac (you can do this on Windows using Sequator). I processed the stack twice, once for the sky and another time using the foreground pool of water in the pothole for the star reflections. I used the pool as the “sky mask” so that Starry Landscape Stacker would align and average the stars in the pool. In both cases the results are pinpoint stars and low noise.
Foreground: Focus stack from three separate exposures, each at ISO 1600 for 10 minutes.
The resulting sky star stack, reflection star stack, and all three foreground exposures were blended in Photoshop for low noise and depth of field.

I attempted the Milky Way last pm...just way too much light dome. Although it is barely visible, I used 15(30"/1250ISO)star images and 10 black in Sequator. It did get rid of several planes heading into Logan and kept the noise low. Next time I think I will up the ISO and try something like 10", it will greatly reduce star trails. Ummmm, now...shut the damn light off and go to bed up there...
I remember when you could look up and see this all the time without using wide lenses etc..
Almost above the house to the left you can see what I think is the Andromeda Galaxy. Checking each image it is clearly visible. and visible to the naked eye when looking up. It's a mere 2,480,000 par secs(light years) away...looking back into time!

One of the good things about camping last weekend was having the luxury of being able to take photos of the Milky Way from the campsite on the first night! Slipping off between a few drinks to try and get a few photos away from the light of the campsite was well worth it. All i'd hear is "wheres Rob?" only for someone to say "probably taking photos of the stars!". Yes the composition isn't the best but it was the best i could mange after a few beers :)
J'ai eu la chance de me rendre le week-end dernier dans un endroit préservé de la pollution lumineuse : une petite ville dans l'Yonne.
C'était la première fois pour moi que je levais les yeux sur un ciel de cette qualité...
C'était à pleurer ! D'ailleurs c'est ce que j'ai fais. La voie lactée était visible à l'oeil nu, ainsi que la galaxie d'Andromède et le double amas de Persée.
Quant aux Perséides...un spectacle magique qui a même tenu en haleine ma petite puce de 4 ans jusqu'à 4h du matin !
Beaucoup de photos de ramenées mais peu très belles car l'émotion m'a fait faire un tas de bêtises. La pire étant de shooter en jpeg une session de 47 photos sur le Cygne grrrrr.
Enfin bon, la voie lactée a elle été shootée en raw ouf.
Celle-ci est une exposition de 4min33sec. D'autres sont à venir.

Conditions weren’t optimal, but with the weather forecast for the next week, I decided to go out and at least give it a try. Heavy mist overhead and lots of fireflies. 5 shots for the foreground with a touch of light painting on the corn, stacked and blended in Photoshop, and a four-frame vertical panorama for the sky, consisting of 5 shots each. Sky was stacked in Sequator, then photo-merged in Lightroom. Final two frames were then stacked in Photoshop.

Lac Petit (Millefonts) - Alpes Maritimes France
Sony A1 + 16-25 f2.8 G @ 16mm
Foreground: iso 100 f11 25s taken at dusk (playing with remote control from the phone), processed first in lightroom
Sky: 16 shots @ iso 3200 f2.8 15s, averaged in Sequator to reduce the noise and processed into lightroom

Final small editing back in Lightroom (white and color grading)
After what seemed like an eternity of clouds and rain here on the coast of Maine, we finally had a break of clear weather last week before the moon was setting too late for dark skies. The green light near the center of the frame is a light on a buoy, and the lights and glow on the horizon are on the island of Grand Manan.
This is a stack of 12 total images for pinpoint stars, low noise, dynamic range, and focus. The sky is a star stack of 10 shots, each 10 seconds at ISO 6400. Those exposures were aligned and averaged in Starry Landscape Stacker to create a sky with pinpoint stars and low noise. Starry Landscape Stacker is available for the Mac, but Sequator can do this on Windows. For more information on this technique check out my Star Stacking article on my website. The foreground is a focus stacked blend of 2 images for depth of field. The foreground and sky images were then blended together to create an image that is in focus from the foreground rocks to the stars, and has good dynamic range and low noise. The 2 foreground exposures were each taken at ISO 1600 for 8 minutes. When taking my foreground exposures, I always take 1 shot at the same focus point as the stars, and then pull focus in for more shots. If I skip the foreground shot that uses the same focus as the stars, then the blending of the foreground and sky is often much harder since the trees will not line up as nicely, even after auto alignment in Photoshop.
Nikon D850, NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens, all shots at 14mm and f/2.8.

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 32 NEF mit Sequator gestackt und dann in DxO bearbeitet. Jedes Bild wurde bei ISO 1600, f 1.8 und 8 sek belichtet.
Hoffe das Bild gefällt euch.
Gruss Martin

This was a test. It was stacked in Sequator 1.5.5 from 10 images, each was taken with Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art, f1.4, 15s, iso-400. And then stacked in Photoshop with the forground image: f4, 168s, iso-400.

According to the Chinese love story, the weaver girl (symbolizing the star Vega) and the cowherd (symbolizing the star Altair) were not allowed to love each other, thus they were banished to opposite sides of the heavenly river (symbolizing the Milky Way). Once a year, on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month, a flock of magpies would form a bridge to reunite the lovers for one day.
This photo was taken exactly on the 7th day of the 7th lunar month (Beijing time). But I didn't see the reunion. Maybe COVID-19 (Coronavirus) infected the magpies?

29 sky images were stacked in Sequator 1.5.6, each was taken with Rokinon 14mm f/2.8, f2.8, 30s, iso-1000. And then stacked in Photoshop with a forground image, which is a smart object stacked from 21 images (same images as the sky images).

270 photos stacked with DSS
For this version I used more photo (270 instead of 30) but I couldnt use anymore SEQUATOR so I used DSS to stack them. The colors resulting from this stacking ar not as nice as what I got woith SEQUATOR but the nebulua is now 4 times bigger than it was with only 30 photos.

Late season Milky Way over the coast of Maine. The green color in the sky is from airglow, a natural phenomenon that occurs all over the globe. See this link for more details. The orange color on the right side of the image is from light pollution reflecting off the thin cloud cover. Jupiter is the large bright object between the trees in the mid-right of the frame. Saturn is the smaller bright object just above center frame to the left of the Milky Way.
This was taken on the last photography workshop that I taught this year, a little over a week ago. If you’d like to be notified of my future workshops please sign up for my mailing list! I also offer video tutorials that teach how I edit photos like this, and I have a free ebook that covers the basics of what you need to know to get started with landscape astrophotography. See my website for more details.
Nikon Z 7, FTZ lens adapter with NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 14mm. As with almost all my Milky Way landscape photos this a blend of multiple exposures for low noise and depth of field. The sky is a star stacked result from 20 exposures at f/2.8, ISO 3200, 8 seconds each which were stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker (Mac only but you can use Sequator on Windows) for low noise. The foreground is from two separate 10 minute exposures each at f/2.8 and ISO 1600 with different focus distances to capture more depth of field. The star stacked sky image and the two foreground images were then blended in Photoshop to create a final image with low noise and and good focus from the foreground to the stars.

Composite image of the Geminid meteor shower peak. Phillips Lake, Dedham, Maine.
Composite from 37 minutes of shooting. Base image is a 10-exposure stack in Sequator. Processed in Lightroom and Topaz Denoise, with meteor traces added back in Photoshop.
Wanted to get out and use my star tracker. I saw a brief window between the Milky Way rise and the moon rise on a clear night. I ventured up to the end of the driveway and set up. I took two different versions of the Milky Way core, one at 50mm, and this one at 85mm. 12 tracked shots at 100 seconds stacked in Sequator and finished off in Photoshop.

Can a really nice Milky Way reflection shot be captured facing the light pollution of California's Central Valley? Sometimes, but under what circumstances? Using which techniques for capture and post-processing? The only way to find out is to try different techniques, over the course of many nights, with various atmospheric conditions (haze/smog, airglow, clouds, light painting, etc.).

Sky was 10 x 90 second frames using the iOptron SkyGuider Pro and stacked in Sequator. Foreground is a single shot. Everything was blended in Photoshop. I like how you can see a faint Milky Way crossing the top of the Zodiacal Light.

A tall skinny ocotillo with orange blooms stands in front of star trails in a partly-cloudy sky in the badlands of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park. Foreground illuminated by the moon (out of frame).
Wide curves of star trails over some badlands seen from my campsite in the southern part of Anza-Borrego Desert State Park on the night of January 4, 2020. Shot with a Canon EOS R and Canon 17-40mm f/4L lens at 124 minutes (stacked exposures) f/4 ISO 3200. foreground illuminated by the moon.
Shot on January 3, 2020, this is a 48 minute stacked exposure done at f/3.2 ISO 2000 with a Canon EOS R and Sigma 15mm EX DG fisheye lens (I did a partial correction to reduce - but not completely eliminate - the artsy fisheye effect).
I had hoped to capture the much hyped Quadrantids meteor shower, but it turned out to be a dud. I shot around 2000 frames and only managed to capture one teeny tiny baby meteor (doo doo doo doo). Still, a never feel like a camping trip in the desert is ever a "waste of time" just because I didn't get the shots I had originally hoped for. The experience of camping in peace, quiet, and solitude under the stars is always nice regardless of what I successfully photograph.
