TITLE: "Komaros"

STORY: This is the shoot that i wanted to take by a long time.

The name Komaros is dedicated to the park that it's called "Parco del Conero" located in the middle of Italy, Ancona.

I've taken this picture last Monday after a 10km of hiking and specificcally illustrates the Milkyway behind Mt. Conero, at the bottom the beautiful beach of Portonovo.

TECHNIQUE:

two panel merged with PS:

top -> 55 shoots stacked with Sequator

bottom - > one single shoot for the ground

each shoot has the same setting: 30s, ISO800, f/5

EXIF: Nikon D750 (modded), AF-S NIKKOR 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II (taken @ 70mm).

Stack of 9 images, aligned and processed in Sequator and Lightroom

8 x 15 sec exposures, stacked using Sequator.

This is from a stack of 10 images that were aligned and cleaned up in Sequator, which did an amazing job of cleaning up noise in the image, but I'd probably use a lower ISO if I could do it again.

Revisiting some photos from last year while up at Melrose

The Milky Way rising up over the Alpine Meadows of Mt Laguna and what remains of Little Laguna Lake in San Diego.

 

8 Photos at 10 seconds each stacked for the sky in Sequator and blended with one long exposure at 123 seconds for the foreground.

The “Starpark Hohe Dirn” is a mountain site within the Kalkalpen nature park in Upper Austria. Because of the challenging terrain of these Alpine foothills, it is one of the darkest regions remaining in continental Europe. Additionally, its altitude of 1105m make it especially well-suited for astronomy during autumn, when lower regions are often plagued by fog.

 

Since 2017 three private observatories were built, two of those can be seen in the foreground.

Stack of 10 exposures of 15 seconds each at ISO 1600, combined with Sequator.

I'm sharing what will likely be the final version of the Milky Way from St. Maurici, processed to maximize the sky areas with stars. The next version will be a more standard edit, including clouds.

 

The process followed, after some optimization, was:

 

> Canvas 1: Stacked with Sequator using 11 photos taken during a moment when the Milky Way was quite visible.

 

> Canvas 2: Stacked with Sequator using 9 photos from a second moment when the Milky Way was also fairly visible.

 

> Canvas 3: Stacked with Sequator using 23 photos from a third moment when the Milky Way was obvious, including an area of the sky that usually has clouds.

 

For these three canvases, the Sequator options were:

AB_on; HDR_on; RDN_on; RDE_Auto; RLP: uneven25 with AI; ESL_off; M4p_off; TL_off; Linear

 

> Canvas 4: Stacked with Sequator using Canvas 1, Canvas 2, and Canvas 3.

In this case, the Sequator options were:

AB_on; HDR_on; RDN_on; RDE_Auto; RLP: uneven0 without AI; ESL_off; M4p_off; TL_off; Linear

 

> Canvas 5: Stacked with Sequator using 14 photos specifically selected based on Milky Way visibility and star visibility in different sky areas.

In this case, the Sequator options were:

AB_on; HDR_on; RDN_on; RDE_Auto; RLP: uneven25 with AI; ESL_off; M4p_off; TL_off; Linear

 

> Final integration canvas: Stacked with Sequator using Canvas 4 and Canvas 5.

In this case, the Sequator options were:

AB_off; HDR_on; RDN_on; RDE_Auto; RLP: uneven25 without AI; ESL_off; M4p_off; TL_off; Linear

 

The lake and mountain images were created through a stacking process of 10 photos using a LUA script for Darktable.

 

Finally, everything was integrated and edited in Darktable.

This is the result. It could still be improved, but it’s no longer worth putting more time into it.

Braved the cold weather and shot some tracked 85mm photos of Orion’s Belt. I was trying to find a good composition to use for a blended sky shot, but didn’t have time to travel for a composition, so I winged it and took a light painted photo at the end of the driveway. The sky was shot at 85mm on the MSM tracker, 9 x 2 minute shots, stacked in Sequator and adjusted in Photoshop. The foreground is 18 shots light painted and blended in Photoshop. I know, it was a bit overkill, but I wanted to make sure I had it all covered.

10 Bilder mit Sequator zusammengefügt, bearbeitet mit LrC + PS

During my previous trip to La Palma in May - I started to learn and improve new techniques of taking photos of the nightsky. This panorama - which was my first Milky Way rendezvous of the year - consists of 116 Single Photos. That nights freezing wind prevented me from using my tracker so I decided to take multiple exposures - 6x20 seconds - on each position of the panorama. At home I just had to stack these exposures with Sequator and Photoshop to get my final panorama. For the foreground I took single 120sec exposures. For me it’s a quite different and unusual look but I really like the colors and mood of that Photo. Furthermore I am very happy to know another technique of photography that gives me the freedom of taking nightsky photos in all conditions.

Meu primeiro registro da galáxia Centaurus A. No processamento dessa galáxia, utilizei muito o software PixInsight. Estou em fase inicial no aprendizado para o uso desse software, havendo ainda muito a aprender e a melhorar, inclusive para maior aproveitamento dos tempos totais de exposição realizados em cada alvo. No caso desse registro, os frames empilhados, captados em dois dias consecutivos, somam 8 horas e 40 minutos totais de exposição.

 

"Centaurus A é uma galáxia peculiar localizada na constelação Centaurus. É a quinta galáxia mais brilhante do céu noturno, a galáxia gigante mais próxima da Via Láctea e uma das rádio-galáxias mais próximas da Terra. Seu tipo exato é incerto, mas geralmente é classificada como uma galáxia elíptica gigante ou lenticular. A distância exata da galáxia à Terra também é incerta, mas as estimativas geralmente variam de 10 a 16 milhões de anos-luz". Fonte: constellation-guide.com

Mein erster Versuch der Deep Sky Fotografie.

Hierfür hab ich mir meine Partnerin geschnappt, die mir höchst interessiert dabei zugeschaut hat. M42 befindet sich im Sternenbild des Orion.

Die Aufnahme ist bei weitem noch nicht gut, aber ich denke, ein guter Anfang.

 

Gestackt mit Sequator aus ca. 50 Aufnahmen zu je 1,3 Sekunden.

7 shots processed with sequator, Fujifilm X-T100 + Samyang 12mm f/2

 

ISO 1600, f/2, 13”

The Milky Way looms austerely over Mount Bachelor in this scene from the north end of Todd Lake, in the heart of the Deschutes National Forest in Central Oregon. I had the place all to myself on this night. But that seemed almost selfish, given how serene and spectacular the view. I might have enjoyed even the silent company of strangers equally entranced.

 

This is a stack of thirteen 18-second non-tracked exposures at 15mm, F/2.8, ISO 6400, with dark frame calibration. Stacking was done in Sequator, then processed in Lightroom, Photoshop, and Topaz Denoise.

stars: 8 x 12 seconds, f3.5, ISO 6400

 

post processing: Sequator, Starnet++, Darktable, GIMP

Photo created by merging 6 shots with the Sequator application. Of the 6 shots, two had the building illuminated with a laser. With the Sequator tool, it was able to align the stars. The resulting canvas was staked, and the two shots with laser illumination were stacked with the LUA plugin for Darktable with function MAX. Finally, the merged canvas was processed with Darktable following my traditional pipeline.

  

This image was more than a year in the planning. I came across this on a road trip and after consulting PlanIt! Pro, I determined that this shot was definitely possible. I believe I was the first to get this location under the Milky Way (and probably currently the only).

Shot with an Olympus OMD E-M5 Mk II and 12-40mm f/2.8 Pro. (7) 15 second shots + (1) dark frame @ f/2.8, ISO 8000, 3800K WB. Single LED panel used for LLL. Stacked in Sequator with final edits in Photoshop using a few Topaz plugins.

3nd milky way of this season, and first of March.

 

This picture was taken the only day with relatively clear skies before moonlight getting too bright to photograph the milky way. Next opportunity should come around end of March, if the weather allows. This shot is a combination of 3 exposures, one for the sky (50 stacked shots), one of the mountains and one for the car trails. It is a spot that I visited once last year, but around May, when the trees were full of leaves, so the result is quite different.

I did not use a soft filter this time, so the stars are a little bit smaller, not sure which I like the most. I have 2 weeks to think about it, until my next night sky photo trip.

 

# Sky : 1min*50 (50min) @ 20mm F2.8 iso1600

# Tracker : MSM Nomad

# Processing : Sequator, GraXpert, PixInsight, Photoshop/Lightroom

This was my "bonus shot" from my 5th and final stop Saturday morning 6/29/2019. After wading through chest high (seriously, no exaggeration there) weeds, I climbed aboard this old boxcar. I imagined the days gone by when people would occasionally hop on and ride the rails across the country, when the towns were smaller and the light pollution was lower. I would have liked to had a slightly better angle and a lot less cloud cover, but I'm happy with what I got and I'll be going back to this spot again to try to improve.

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, a few LED candles used to illuminate the interior.

143 x 20s exposures on an alt-az mount.

A view of the Milky Way (Cygnus Region) from the front yard on the evening of the 13th. Class 4 Bortle, so there is a fair amount of light pollution. 10 photos stacked in Sequator.

30*15 sec, stacked with Sequator.

The Milky Way and Venus rise over Carousel Mountain and Homer Wilson Ranch in Big Bend National Park in Texas. Venus is the very big bright object in the lower left part of the sky. This is from my trip to Big Bend back in February of 2019.

 

I shot this at 50mm to get a very intimate view of the Milky Way behind the mountain, and to make the abandoned ranch buildings more noticeable.

 

Nikon Z 6, NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens. All shots were at f/1.8. Normally I would do maybe 3 or 5 second exposures for the sky at 50mm to limit star trails, but in this case it was insanely windy so I didn’t want the camera to shake in the wind and blur the stars during a longer exposure, so I took fifty 1 second exposures at ISO 16,000 for the sky, which were then star stacked in Starry Landscape Stacker (available for Mac but you can do this with Sequator on Windows) for low noise and pinpoint stars. I figured of the 50 maybe I’d get enough non-blurry ones, but turns out my heavy duty Really Right Stuff TVC-33 tripod had no issue keeping the camera still in the wind so I was able to use all 50 for the stacking. For the same reason I shot 9 exposures at 30 seconds each for the foreground at ISO 12,800, hoping that a few wouldn’t shake too bad, but turns out I was able to use all of them. I stacked those foreground exposures in Photoshop by combining those layers into a smart object and using the median blend mode, resulting in a much lower noise image. Then using my normal workflow, in Photoshop I blended the sky stacked result from Starry Landscape Stacker with the foreground stacked result from Photoshop to create a final image with detail and low noise in the foreground and sky.

Hallo zusammen

Am Samstag war ich noch draussen um mein Projekt "Ruine Pfeffingen mit Milchstrasse" zu verbessern, um zu üben und einfach besser werden.

Ich möchte das ich ein paar perfekte Fotos habe, die die Ruine von Pfeffingen mit der Milchstrasse, dem Milchstrassenzentrum, zeigen.

Leider ist es so, das diese Ruine ca 15km von Basel steht und in dieser Distanz alles überbaut ist und so auch entsprechend viel Lichtverschmutzung vorhanden ist.... Was die Aufnahme der Milchstrasse auch nicht einfacher macht.....

Also versuche ich immer wieder, etwas besser zu machen.

Hier habe ich 26 Aufnahmen mit Sequator als RAW gestackt und dann in DXO Photolab 5/7 entwickelt. In PaintShop habe ich nur noch den Zuschnitt, Name und Grösse gemacht.

Mit der Nikon D850, dem SigmaArt 20mm/1.4, ISO 1250, Belichtung 8 Sek und Blende 1.6.....

Unten links von der Ruine hat die Software einen Matsch aus den Sternen gemacht, weiss nicht wie so und auch nicht wie ich das gerade bekommen....

Hoff das Bild gefällte euch trotzdem...

Gruss Martin

10 tomas de 10 segundos apiladas usando sequator

This is a milkyway panorama containing 9 images total. I shot this in Bridgetown WA in the early 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.
