Another photo from the trip out to Folly Island in South Carolina to capture the Milky Way rising over the groins and ocean. This is a 20mm composite of 10 photos, stacked in Sequator, and a separate stack of 5 photos for the foreground in Photoshop. The resulting images were then blended in Photoshop.

The Galactic Core of the Milky Way rises above snow covered Mt. Katahdin and the other mountains of northern Maine. I shot this at 50mm so the mountains wouldn’t be just tiny specks, and to get a lot of detail in the Galactic Core.

 

At 50mm the pink nebulae around the core also become much more visible, including the Lagoon Nebula (largest pink spot center-left in the sky), as well as the Trifid Nebula, Eagle Nebula, and Swan Nebula. The bright star Antares and others around the Rho Ophiuchi cloud complex are visible in the upper right.

 

Nikon Z 6 with NIKKOR Z 50mm f/1.8 S lens @ f/1.8, ISO 6400. Star stack of 20 x 4 second exposures for sharp stars and low noise. I stacked the raw files in Starry Landscape Stacker (Mac only but you can do this with Sequator on Windows), then did some basic edits on the resulting file in Lightroom Classic, and then final edits for really bringing out detail in the Milky Way in Photoshop.

 

The few reflections of stars in the open area of water on the lake blurred far too much with the stacking, and treating the water as the "sky" in Starry Landscape Stacker didn't work because there simply aren't enough stars in the reflection for the software to properly align the reflections. So to get a lower noise version of the reflections I manually aligned and stacked 10 of the sky photos in Photoshop, moving the layers a few pixels at a time to get the reflections to line up between shots. I could have used all 20 shots but 10 was more than enough for just the little bits of reflection that I needed. Averaging that stack resulted in a lower noise version of the reflections, and I was able to mask them into the final shot with a combination of using the lighten blend mode and manual masking of just the reflected starlight.

One of the coolest things about comets is the ionized gas tail. I spent time trying to bring that out. I could only do so much given the brightness of the Seattle metro area.

About 2-3 hours of work:

Sony A7iii w/ Sony 70-200 F/4 lens. Untracked. Taken at the Tacoma waterfront - Bortle 6-7 skies.

10 x 4s light, 10 Darks, 10 Bias

Stacked in Sequator. Processed in Pixinsight, background extraction/subtraction, archsinstrech, histogram, curves.

Lightroom - noise reduction, color and exposure adjustments to bring out the ion tail.

  

At the Thistle Dew Lavender Farm in Afton, TX. A big thanks to Danny and Laurie Davis for letting a few of us come out to photograph their farm.

Taken from a field on the edge of Durlston Country Park on the night of 7th September. My husband Mark and I took lots of images over three nights using several different cameras and lenses. We worked together to capture the photos then we have taken the images and done our own processing of them.

 

This was taken with a Canon 1100D with Canon 18-55mm kit lens on a Star Adventurer Mini tracking mount. This is a stack of 12 x 120 seconds at ISO-3200 f/3.5. The images were stacked using Sequator, which wouldn't keep the foreground frozen so I had to manually blend in the foreground from one of the single shots.

Shooted with geared head, without tracker. 596 pic 1sek shutter. Stacked with sequator.

Clear sky last night (24 April) in Belfast so got the telescope out for another go. This time the Leo Triplet, a small group of galaxies in the Leo constellation, 35 million light-years away.

Needless to say, while Mars made its closest approach to the Earth, it was the brilliant trail of the Milky Way that stole the show last night. Rich with pristine details and various hues of lush colors, the galactic core arched across the starry heavens and created quite the stellar display. This is easily may best shot of our Milky Way galaxy to date and I'm super thrilled with the outcome! Enjoy!

The first night of camping resulted in a late night of drinking and laughter. Somehow i still managed to get a few shots of the setting milky way over the camp before the night faded!

My very first time trying to shoot the milky way. I am quiet happy with it! :)

Unfortunately the castle was spotted by some lights till 1am, so the milky way moved from the point over the castle right to the forest.

This is picture was stacked from 6 shoots via sequator.

This is a circumpolar star trail around the "Padella meteorological radar". The main canvas with the trails was created by merging 30 shots with the Sequator application. Each shot was 1 minute long. After, getting the main canvas. Finally, the resulting canvas was processed with Darktable following my traditional pipeline.

Milky Way from Dugi otok, Croatia. I almost forgot I took this beautiful vertical photo - at the time I was planing on doing a timelapse which was obviuosly landscape oriented, but fortunately I did a few vertical shots, too! This is 6x15s stacked in Sequator. I used BlurXterminator in PixInsight and just minimal processing in PS.

 

I hope you like it :)

Here is the second from my series of "Star Trucks" shot at a location that I found a few years ago and have shot a number of times since. With this image of this truck (this one is west of the first one and the concrete culverts are stacked higher) I wanted to align the stars to make it look like the truck is hauling the galaxy.

Shot with my Fuji X-T2 and Meike 25mm f/1.8. (5) 8 second shots + (2) dark frames @ f/2.0, ISO 6400, 3800K WB. One LED panel used for LLL. Stacked in Sequator with final edits in Photoshop using a few Topaz plugins.

Late on Saturday night I headed down to the Daymark Tower to capture some Milkyway shots as the forecast was for clear skies. On arrival though the sky was full of clouds but after around an hour it did clear and I was treated to a wonderful starry sky. Here is one of many images I captured which shows the core of the Milkyway as it started to set towards the South Western horizon with the bright light of the Start Point Lighthouse.

On my travels I came upon this abandoned old dragline that I could just barely see out in a field. There were "no trespassing" signs at the path that would lead out to it, so I made it a mission to find and contact the land owner as I really wanted to shoot this at night. After knocking on some doors, making some calls, and doing some research online, I was finally able to contact the owner and get permission to go out and shoot this wonderful old machine under some amazingly dark skies. Many thanks to the property owners (to remain anonymous). Shot last Sunday night (8/25/2019).

This was shot with my Fuji X-T2 and Meike 25mm f/1.8 lens; (5) 8 second exposures + (2) dark frames @ ISO 6400, f/2.0, 3800K WB. Two LED panels used for LLL. Stacked in Sequator with final edits in Photoshop using a few Topaz Plugins and the 5 tone heat map actions.

This is the first record I make of the "Helm of Thor" nebula (NGC 2359). The stacked frames, captured in four nights, totaled 10 hours and 30 minutes of exposure.

 

"NGC 2359 is a helmet-shaped cosmic cloud with wing-like appendages popularly called Thor's Helmet. Heroically sized even for a Norse god, Thor's Helmet is about 30 light-years across. In fact, the helmet is more like an interstellar bubble, blown as a fast wind from the bright, massive star near the bubble's center inflates a region within the surrounding molecular cloud. Known as a Wolf-Rayet star, the central star is an extremely hot giant thought to be in a brief, pre-supernova stage of evolution. NGC 2359 is located about 15,000 light-years away in the constellation Canis Major". Source: NASA (science.nasa.gov/ngc-2359-thors-helmet)
