This is a stack of 26 x 25 seconds, taken with a Canon 1100D + Canon 10-18mm wide angled lens, ISO-3200 f/5.
Images were stacked in Sequator, freezing the foreground to compensate for the movement of the Milky Way in that time. Stacked image was processed in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer.
Thank goodness there's video evidence of how these rocks move and make these tracks. Maybe now people can stop stealing the "magic rocks"?
The pandemic encouraged me to pursue images both close to home and in more remote locations. From photography of insects in our garden to remote desert dry lake bed playas, where there was no one in sight. While outdoor activities such as camping and hiking experienced surges in interest and traffic, more remote, difficult to reach locations became more attractive than ever. Perhaps the image of mine that best expresses this concept of extreme distancing is this night shot from The Racetrack in Death Valley.
Single press of the shutter release, several adjacent images moderately post-processed (about a minute to capture and a couple of minutes to adjust). Done.
No compositing/time-shifting.
No tracking mount.
No noise images, no long exposure foreground images.
No multiple focal lengths, no focus stacking.
No Photoshop, no sky or foreground substitution (just Lightroom and a shareware app or two).
Night photography doesn't have to be complicated or time-consuming, or involve special gear beyond camera, lens, tripod. Many cameras produced in the last 13 years and probably all in the last 4-8 years can capture shots like this. I've re-processed images and produced great results from my 2009 Canon 5D Mark II and crop sensor 70D. Join our workshops to find out how!

2nd milky way of this season, and last of February.
The last few weeks were quite cloudy except this one day, so I went back to one of my favorite spots in the Kangwon Province to capture the milky way core floating over the Soyang lake. I went there early, slept in the car until 4 AM, and began shooting as the milky way started to cross the horizon. A month earlier, the mountains would have been covered wth snow, but unfortunately it went away with the warmer daytime temperatures.
This picture is my first time trying out the Nikon Z 20/1.8 S for night photography. So far I am very satisfied about its performance in regards to corner sharpness and aberrations.
PS : The ground was shot with a Canon EF 16-35mm F2.8 L II (using an EF/Z adapter).

That night, the air was quite humid and the light pollution from beyond the mountains was affecting the visibility of the milkyway and coming out really bright, so I closed further the aperture up to f5.6 (I usually don't go past f4 for the sky) to allow a longer exposure without losing all the highlights. I don't know if that was the trick but the sky came out quite well through post processing, despite my concerns.

I'm such a beginner to astrophotography and there are so many things to remember that I forgot to take a dark frame to eliminate hot pixels so had to do them by hand.
I took 8 photos at 90 seconds each using the 5D4 and 70-200mm lens at 200mm. A Sky-watcher Star Adventurer was used for tracking. I used the free software program Sequator to stack the images. Talk about dipping one's toe in the water - I haven't much clue and it's a huge learning curve.
If you look closely, this mountain resembles the head of a sleeping giant. Each night, it is visited by wondrous dreams — woven from stardust, glowing nebulae, and the silent whispers of the cosmos.
Captured beneath the dark skies of the Negev Desert, this image reveals the galactic core of the Milky Way rising above the ancient rocks, along with the vibrant Antares region and Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex.
A fleeting moment when Earth and universe dream together.

This is one of the famous night sky photography landmarks of Switzerland. So famous that it took me 18 years to motivate myself to go and shoot it! 😀
The weekend before I was crossing this place on my way to the usual weekend hike. That kind of created the impression that I should come and shoot this with some night sky. I stopped for a few minutes and looked for the composition and alignment of Milkyway and just said myself that “I will be back”. 😀
Switzerland is not a country where you expect to see clear cloudless sky very often. Specially during weekends. But this place is not too far from my home. Well; a country full of highways and 400 kms in length doesn’t mark anything too far to be honest. But this place is only an hour and half drive away. So I waited for the weekend; but the sky was not happy. But it was on a Wednesday. Sunset is around 21:20 now; so after finishing office around 19:00; I went out capturing this.
Initially I thought it would be lonely and it was but I was not alone. There was another photographer. Whom I asked to watch my camera on the long exposure of the foreground and took a couple of rounds with the car in front of the building. Thats right it was a measured car trail made by me! 😀
This hotel has an interesting history. It was opened along with the road of Furka Pass. Early 19th century around 1830. The means of transportation was horse carts that time. And Furka pass is steep and the glacier used to be just next to it. So for all rich travelers cross border, this was the perfect location to break their journey on their way to the dreamland of Switzerland. So the hotel was a pinacle of Furka Pass. Slowly cars started coming to picture. Initial cars were neither fast nor powerful enough to cross the mighty Furkapass in one go. So the demand of the hotel remained.
But slowly and steadily the cars started becoming fast and powerful enough. Road started improving. Visitors started commuting longer distances without a need to stop at the Hotel Belvedere of Furka Pass.
Eventually the mighty hotel of Furka Pass, a hotel that used to be considered as the magical place to stay once; slowly started loosing demand and eventually ran out of business.
Today it stands there portraying its past glory and eventually became one of the major photo stop of the region. With not many large towns around; it is dark enough for some night sky photography even though it is only a Bortle 3 sky.
I am not someone who is taking pictures of only night sky. I like landscape photography as well as photographing architecture. If the condition is good; I do try to capture some good night sky. But for me the sky is just an enhancer. It is not the subject. For me a good night sky is like a good golden hour where only the sky is not enough. It is the overall composition of the image. If I don’t have a dominant subject in the frame; I won’t take picture of an empty sky. Be that a gorgeous sunset or a stunning night ski! It is incomplete without a proper composition and other elements.
This place was perfect where I could enhance the scene of this iconic ancient structure with a beautiful sky which is extremely rare in Switzerland.
Now regarding this image; needless to say that it is a composite like most good night sky images are. If you are tracking the frame; you can’t have the subject in the same frame. On top you can’t possibly expect such differences of exposure (car light vs dim light of sky) can be balanced in one shot. So just before dark around 22:00 I captured a 4 minutes exposure of the hotel with a Canon R5 and a 17 MM Tilt Shift lens so that the hotel doesn’t look like falling down behind. I hate that in my architectural pictures. The TSE helps taking perfect images of the architecture. In between I also drove my car a couple of times to create the trail.
Then I just moved behind the hotel and captured the sky with a H Alpha modified D850 and the legendary Sigma 40MM F1.4. This was my first use of the lens and I practically blown away with the quality. Tack sharp at F2 with no coma even in extreme corner. Makes things so much faster.

"The Double Cluster is also known as h and Chi Persei. It resides in the northern part of the constellation Perseus, quite close to the constellation Cassiopeia the Queen. If you have a dark sky and find Cassiopeia – which is easy, because the constellation has a distinctive M or W shape – be sure to look for Perseus, too. Then just scan with your binoculars between them. The Double Cluster – a breathtaking pair of clusters, each containing supergiant suns – will be there. Follow the links below to learn more:"

Júpiter y el Río lechoso.
En el centro de esta imagen se puede apreciar una “estrella” brillante de color blanco, resulta ser el planeta gigante gaseoso Júpiter, ubicada actualmente en la constelación de Ofiuco. A la izquierda lo acompaña la Via láctea, se le llamo así ya que al ojo desnudo se aprecia como una mancha blanca que atraviesa el cielo nocturno ya que nuestros ojos no tienen la capacidad de ver los colores de estas estructuras que están a miles de años luz, por eso, a través de la cámara se pueden desfigurar los colores reales de estas estructuras. El color amarillo-anaranjado son cientos de miles de estrellas viejas ubicadas hacia el centro galáctico, las nebulosas negras son nubes densas que se encuentran entre nosotros y el centro galáctico, al ser tan densas bloquean la luz que se encuentra detrás de estas nubes, los colores rojizos y rosados son principalmente regiones de formación estelar, regiones Hll, donde las estrellas masivas y brillantes ionizan el gas circundante haciéndolas brillar de estos colores.

The constellation of Orion and the molecular clouds that surround it, known in full as the Orion Molecular Cloud Complex, as seen over a cove along the coast of Maine with the tide coming in.
The very bright spot in the middle of the sky is the Orion Nebula, and Orion’s belt is to the left and up from there.
I used the LRGB processing technique to bring out the detail and color in the nebulosity in the sky. This technique involves separating the luminance (detail) and color (RGB) processing into separate steps and combining them to really bring out the faint details. This technique is normally used on deep space images, but I tried it here to see how much I could get out of this sky, even with the thin clouds catching some light pollution. The result was that the thin clouds were brought out a lot themselves, but it added an interesting look to the photo.
Nikon Z 6 and NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens. The image is a star stacked blend of 20 images at ISO f/2.2, ISO 3200, 6 seconds each. Stopping the lens down to f/2.2 sharpened up the stars a bit. Those images were stacked with Starry Landscape Stacker for pinpoint stars and low noise. I didn’t use a separate foreground shot for this, I wanted to keep the foreground mostly in silhouette. But since I was using Starry Landscape Stacker it made it easy to stack the sky part of the exposures separate from the foreground, but end up with a low noise result for both. SLS is available only for macOS but you can use Sequator on Windows. You can do it in Photoshop but it’s a much more manual process that doesn’t always work well.
