This image was captured using a Canon EOS 60Da and a Rokinon 135mm F/2 lens on a Sky-Watcher Star Adventurer.
15 x 90-seconds @ ISO 800. Stacked in Sequator, processed in Adobe Photoshop!
This was shot late in twilight, when the sky was still blue but dark enough to see stars and the faint outline of the Milky Way in person. The camera, of course, captures far more light than the naked eye, bringing out much more detail in the Milky Way.
Nikon Z 7, Mount Adapter FTZ, NIKKOR 14-24mm f/2.8 lens @ 14mm and f/2.8 for all shots.
Sky: Star stack of 20 exposures at 10 seconds, ISO 3200 using Starry Landscape Stacker (Mac) for pinpoint stars and low noise. You can do this on Windows with Sequator.

Estoy turbo feliz y orgullosa de haber logrado esta fotografía de la vía láctea, la cual es un apilado de 12 imágenes de 30" de exposición cada una para lograr un total de 6 minutos de integración.
Tomé las imágenes durante la madrugada del Maratón Messier después de "retirarme" con dignidad debido a ciertos problemas técnicos que no me permitió procesar mi imagen participante como hubiera querido.
Todavía estaba bastante desanimada por mi resultado en el maratón, hasta que vi este resultado de ocho horas de creatividad y procesado el día de hoy.
La mancha enorme y luminosa es el planeta Venus y también se aprecian tres estrellas de color azul, magenta y amarillo (estrella Antares) de la región de formación estelar Rho Ophiuchi en la parte derecha del centro de la galaxia, así como las nubes de gas oscuras que las rodean y dejan una especie de "cola" que conecta con el centro galáctico.
Otras regiones de nebulosas y cúmulos, por ejemplo, M8, M7 y M6 se aprecian en toda la franja de la galaxia (quizá haga un mapa más adelante).
Realmente considero que es mi mejor astrofotografía hasta ahora, la amo y no puedo dejar de verla. 😍💕🌌

This is a Milkyway panorama containing 9 images total. I previously posted this, but re-edited it to polish it up more, although I had to reduce the resolution so I could post this on Flickr. I shot this in Bridgetown WA on the 4/1/23 (early in the morning. The location I was in was bortle 2, so I didn't need as much exposure as normal. Each shot is a 3x3 minute exposure stacked in Sequator (apart from the foreground). I also used Topaz denoise ai with this and got great results with it. The equipment I used was the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i pro pack, 18-55mm kit lens, Canon 500d, kiwi lens warmer, Charmast 26500mah battery, tripod and a ballhead. This was a great experience for me as I've never experienced zodiacal light (as seen in the image) or bortle 2 skies before.
Composite image from about 1.5 hours of shooting with an intervalometer. Base image is a 10-photo stack in Sequator. The meteors were added back in Photoshop.
Orland, Maine.
This was taken Sunday evening 12th July at midnight. At this time and day the Comet was very close to the horizon. Most of the Sky was clear except the northern horizon where there was light cloud near the horizon. This was I think the reason for the comet being very faint to the naked eye. The final result was much brighter due to the camera settings and the stacking of images.
This was taken with a Minolta 75-300 lens at 100mm at F5 10 seconds and 1600 ISO. 10 pictures were taken and stacked together using Sequator software which aligns stars together. The picture was taken close to home at Pagham Harbour Wall looking NNE towards the South Downs 8 miles away but flat until there. This made it ideal for an object close to the horizon
After processing in Sequator the image was taken into Photoshop and then processed in Topaz Clarity and Topaz DeNoise.
The Comet is visible all of July and getting brighter until closest approach on 23 July. For the next 10 days the Comet gets higher in the sky for any given hour. It will now be visible all night.

I don't get as much chance to shoot the Milky Way as I would like. I went up into our local San Diego mountains last night in Mount Laguna to shoot the Milky Way behind the Big Laguna Lake but my plans did not turn out as I liked, so for about an hour or so I drove back and forth across the mountain looking for a spot where the Milky Way would line up with the road.
After I found the spot I liked I waited another hour or so until it would line up as well as it could ( I will need to try later in the season when the milky way is more vertical) and then shot for a little while before retiring to the back of my car for a few zzz's before sunrise.

My daughter (6) and I were able to spend an entire night camped out on top of Blackrock Summit in Shenandoah National Park, VA on July 11th / July 12th, 2020.
It was an exceptionally clear night with 360 degree views so I was able to photograph a wide variety of targets from wide-angle Milky Way / Landscapes, starfields, the Andromed Galaxy and even Comet NEOWISE before sunrise.
Of all the shots I was able to take, this is by far my favorite. In this composite 135mm photo, you can see my daughter and I in the foreground on our "observation platform" trying to take in the vastness of our galaxy. In front of us is the core of the Milky Way, the area containing Saggitarius A, with other objects such as the Lagoon and Trifid nebulae visible.
This image was created by capturing a single 30 second, ISO 1600 F2.8 foreground shot merged with a stack of tracked 14x60" ISO800 F2.8 sky shots using my iOptron Skyguider. The sky shots were stacked in Sequator, gradients wiped in Startools, and finished in Lightroom CC. I hope you enjoy a shot from a night I'll never forget!
Only Milky Way shot from 2023, so I had to make it count! Shot from Raven's Roost on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, August, 2023.
Sky shot is 14x45" ISO800 stacked and calibrated with 10 dark frames. Foreground shot is 1x30 second ISO200 shot from 30 minutes after sunset to capture the blue hour affect. Canon EOS 6D, Rokinon 24mm lens, F/2.8 for both. Processed in Sequator (for stacking), Photoshop (for selection/blending) and Lightroom for final processing. I hope you enjoy!

Opposition is when a planet (further out in orbit than Earth) is opposite us in its orbit around the sun.
So when the sun sets, a planet at opposition rises!. You can enjoy seeing Jupiter all night, but it is easiest to spot low in the eastern sky in the evening and low in the western sky at sunrise.
Oppositions often occur when a planet is at its closest approach to Earth. During an opposition, a planet's full daylight faces side to us. So Jupiter really is brighter and (just a bit) bigger right now!
Jupiter at opposition is an astronomical event everyone can enjoy easily enjoy with their eyes, and if you have binoculars or a telescope, look for Jupiter's larger moons.

This is my "bonus shot" from the other night when I took my 'Star Tree' image (my previous post here yesterday). When I saw this I chuckled a little as I thought "I wonder if this might have been a 'hold my beer...' situation. We'll probably never know, but it's definitely not everyday that you see a boat in a tree (with a tree in the boat).
Shot with my Fuji X-H1 and Samyang 12mm f/2.0; (5) 15 second shots + (2) dark frames @ f/2.0; ISO 3200, 3800K WB. Lighting was from some security lights on power poles at a nearby farm (maybe a half mile away or so).

I've never seen a ghost in a ghost town, but the human-shaped shadow on the left side of this window begs for some explanation.
The star over its shoulder, reflecting in the window, puts it in context, implying that it's a reflection as well. So it's either me taking the picture, or another photographer in our group.

When I was driving home in october, I saw the Pleiades rising just above the hill near to my home village Magyaregres in Hungary. I had an idea to take a picture with the Pleiades and myself on top of the hill, so I started a timelapse with one of my camera, and walk to the top of the hill with the other, and with the tripod. I waited a few minutes there and hoped that everything is in frame that I wanted (me and the Pleiades), and there are a few pictures where I stand still without any motion blur.
When a I went back and checked, I find a few nice pictures, so I went home, set up the gear and the tracker in the garden and make more light frames for the original picture. After a half-hour clouds come, so I had to stop. In the next weeks and months there wasn't any really clear sky here, so I didn't have any chance to collect light but I tried, of course without any success. In the middle of december there were a few clear nights so I collected totally more than 6 hours for the integration, did the the post processing after Christmas and this is the result. I don't really satisfied with the post processing but generally I think it's not bad. It shows everything that I wanted to show: a tiny human with his gear, and the huge universe above, that looks dark and almost empty, but his camera can show that, It isn't dark, nor empty.

First attempt at hydrogen-alpha 12nm narrowband using an DIY astro-modified second-hand Canon 450D and the superb nifty-fifty lens for astro. Had to remove a number of frames due to northern lights flooding the light frames, and struggled to stack and stretch the files in PixInsight and DeepSkyStacker, producing a lot of noise and banding patterns. Sequator let through some hot pixels, but can live with that as the background noise was a lot lower than wiht PI and DSS. Final edit in Adobe Lightroom. The light frames were a sea of red though, so I wonder if longer exposures at lower ISO400 may be better? Read somewhere that ISO400 is the sweet spot for dynamic range versus gain on the 450D.

The weather wasn’t the greatest on my West Virginia Fall Road Trip, but the skies did clear up for a few hours. I took advantage of the weather and took a ride up to the highest point in West Virginia, Spruce Knob. Luckily, I was all alone up there, unluckily, I forgot a piece of my Move Shoot Move star tracker. So, I took fifteen 13 second frames of the Milky Way, stacked them in Sequator and then blended that with a blue hour shot of the foreground.

Meu primeiro registro da pequena (em tamanho aparente/angular) Galáxia do Sombreiro. O processamento foi bastante trabalhoso. Preciso estudar melhores formas de captação/processamento para essa galáxia. Neste registro estão somados frames captados em dois dias consecutivos, totalizando 6 horas e 38 minutos de exposição empilhados. Aproximadamente metade dos frames foram realizados sem filtro e a outra metade com o filtro Optolong L-eNhance.
"A galáxia do Sombreiro (Messier 104, NGC 4594), é uma galáxia espiral com núcleo brilhante rodeado por um disco achatado de material escuro, que fica a 28 milhões de anos-luz de distância. Essa brilhante galáxia é conhecida como sombreiro devido a sua aparência característica que se assemelha a um chapéu. A galáxia possui uma magnitude aparente de +8,3". Fonte: Wikipedia.org

An impressive set of high red sandstone hills, one of the most famous sites in the south of Israel, located in the center of the Timna Valley - today a nature & history park.
The area is one of the most ancient copper mines, dating to the end of the 5th Millennium BCE (about 6,000 years ago). An Egyptian temple and rock engraving are located in the site, and the miners' camp is located nearby.
The site and the entire park is a perfect place for hiking and combines remarkable nature scenes, historic sites and hiking tracks.

Staking of 33 frames in Sequator software
23 separate images were processed to create this image. I first struggled mightily with Photoshop (and have an article in the works), and then switched to a new tool: Sequator. Even after struggling with Sequator (which was easy to use), I found that I had to clone out items to remove artifacts. One of the items cloned out is a wind turbine with a light on it - that's what is casting the reflection in the water.
Don't look at it too closely!
By the way, you may notice that it says it's 184 seconds of exposure. That's true... if you sum up each of the separate images times.
Also, this is a vertorama with a single shot providing the lower 1/3 of the image.
After all that, the left hand side of this landscape just didn't look like it was worth keeping, so I made a nearly square crop out of it. It's processed more "heavily" than most of my Milky Way images just to see how far the "aligned stacking" paradigm could go.
Because of the crop, unfortunately Mars and Jupiter were cropped out (to the left and right respectively)... But Saturn is still there!

I was here at Walkers Flat , South Australia, last night working out a location for a milky way shot. At about 7.30 there was a blaze of high powered floodlights , from a vessel, slowly coming upstream towards me. It turned out to be the 'Proud Mary', a river cruise boat. ( I think )
The cliffs and the trees along the river looked just fantastic all lit up this way. I took several shots of this as the vessel approached and blended them together later.
I then crossed over the river on the ferry and drove to Forster Lookout, a short distance upstream..
There , I shot the milky way shots, when it appeared at roughly this angle to the river
I took 1 x 120 sec and 2 x 90 second tracked shots and stacked them in Sequator.
This night was also be the peak of the Eta Aquarids meteor shower with reports ranging from 50 to 30 meteors per hour.
I was at this location from just before sunset until dawn.
It was clear all night and not very cold
I saw 1 meteorite.
Whytecliff Park, West Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
26 sky images were stacked in Sequator 1.5.6, each was taken with Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art, f1.6, 15s, iso-640. And then stacked in Photoshop with a foreground image, which was taken at the same time but different exif (f4, 30s, iso-1250).
