This is a layer stack of 10 images, 10sec exposures, WB4550K, Processeing: stacked for noise reduction in Sequator 1.6.0, more processing in RawTherapee 5.8 and GIMP 2.10.32 after stacking for final image.
So this ended up being "Plan C". Plan A was to drive 2 hours to a new location but due to some uncertainty in the cloud cover estimates on the weather reports, I had decided to scrub that and just stay in (the cloud cover nearby wasn't looking promising either). As it started getting dark I determined that although there was some cloud cover, it was sparse enough that I could possibly get out and get a few shots so I decided to head for another location that I hadn't shot yet (but much closer than the initial plan); thus Plan B. Once I was en route, I could see that there was a thunderstorm building in that direction, at the last minute (and last resort): Plan C. I was almost at the turn off for this spot, so it made sense; this is one of my locations that I shot earlier this year and I wanted to try it from a different angle and with the Milky Way more vertical. I would have liked a little clearer skies, but I can live with this. On another note, the mosquitoes almost ate me alive even with an unhealthy dose of bug repellent on. That being the case, I only took this one sequence for the night.

Amigos, ésto es lo que he conseguido a ver qué os parece, de mi última escapada de julio a Brihuega. No es ningún montaje, son 25 fotos de 6 seg cada una apiladas con el Sequator.
La lavanda y el árbol se pueden jugar con la claridad en su correspondiente capa, según los gustos. No le doy más claridad porque me parece demasiado irreal.
A toda la imagen final le he puesto un filtro frío azul al 20%, que me gusta más que los tonos cálidos.
La iluminación lejana del horizonte es fácil eliminar, pero me gusta así que no sea homogéneo el horizonte.
Se observa la fuerte aberración de coma de este objetivo Canon EF 50mm f/1.4, pero bueno, es lo que hay. Me he quedado con los disparos a f/1.8, las tomas a f/4 mejoran las estrellas, pero refistran poca Vía Láctea. Ya quisiera tener el 50mm L f/1.2... ñam, ñam.
Espero vuestros consejos de expertos fotógrafos.
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)

Sooooo... It's been a while since I posted a nighttime shot. I have a few new images (from 2020), so I'll start things off kind of slow and at the beginning. I shot this in January in the evening just after twilight during what I like to call the "Milky Way Preseason" (the months that you can shoot the Milky Way but not the core).
"Andromeda Farmhouse"
Part of our Milky Way leads to the house and our sister Andromeda is just to the left (upper third).
Shot with my Fuji X-T2 and Samyang 12mm f/2.0 @ f/2.0, ISO 3200; (5) 15 second shots + (1) dark frame, 3800K WB. Light is ambient from a nearby dairy farm (no additional lighting added). Stacked in Sequator with final edits in Photoshop using a few plugins and actions (Topaz DeNoise, Clarity, Detail, DxO Viewpoint 3, Blake Rudis 5 Tone Heat Map).

I used a Sky watcher star adventurer, Canon 500d, Power bank, dummy battery, 18-55m kit lens, Innorel Rt90-C tripod and an intervalometer as my gear.
Processing:
The processing software's I used were: Sequator, Topaz denoise ai and Photoshop.
A late season astro shoot before the Milkyway core disappeared until next season.
By backing into a tight limestone nook I was able to capitalise on some interesting, sculptural foreground elements.
I was happy with the detail captured considering this was basically taken in the Perth metropolitan area. It was shot using a Nisi Natural Night filter to help reduce the impact of light pollution.

A photo of me of the North American and Pelican nebulae,shooting data:camera canon eos 1100d fullspectrum,canon lens 75/300 to 200mm,F 5/6,iso 1600 79 shots from 30s,optolong filter l-pro eos to clip,capture with APT,sum with Sequator and processing with Gimp and Photoshop.The North American Nebula (also known as NGC 7000 and C 20) is an emission nebula in the constellation Cygno, near Deneb (the swan's tail and its brightest star). The shape of the nebula draws the North American continent, especially the east coast, between the Gulf of Mexico and Florida.
The discovery of the North American Nebula is attributed to astronomer William Herschel. Together with the nearby Pellican Nebula, it constitutes a single nebulae complex, located about 1960 light years away, in which star formation is active, as evidenced by the presence of several young stellar objects and HH objects; these phenomena mainly concern stars of small and medium mass
Due to its brightness and extent, it is one of the most photographed objects in the Northern Celestial Hemisphere.The Pelican Nebula (also known as IC 5067/70) is an H II region in the constellation Cygno, near Deneb (the swan's tail and its brightest star); it belongs to the same giant molecular cloud as the nearby North American Nebula and is easily photographed. Its distance is estimated at around 600±50 parsecs (1956±163 light years).
Within it are active phenomena of star formation, as evidenced especially by the presence of HH objects; these phenomena mainly concern stars of small and medium mass.

Orland, Maine.
We had a lovely clear sky in Oxfordshire overnight on 28th/29th July. Just as the Waning Gibbous Moon was rising, I headed out to a local farm to capture the Milky Way before the moonlight affected the sky too much. I wanted something different in the foreground than what I get from our garden. and I've been waiting for the Milky Way to be in the right position so I could get it from the road that passes this farm. I took several photos from slightly different locations but this is one of my stacked images.

This was captured in bortle 3 skies and I only took a few 3 minute shots, so it really shows how bright the Large Megallenic Cloud is. I used Sequator (to stack), Photoshop and Topaz denoise to edit.
My first Milky Way core photos of 2023, taken from a local beach at around 03:40 on Saturday morning.
5 x 10-sec exposures at f/2.5 and ISO 6400, taken with a Canon EOS 5 MkIII and Sigma 35mm f/1.4 lens on a static tripod. The frames were stacked in Sequator to reduce noise and then post-processed to increase contrast and improve colour balance.
The Core Returns - Blend/Tracked/Stacked.
This was a PERFECT morning - it rained on the way out, but it was clear when we arrived in Joshua Tree National Park on Friday morning, March 24. I recently finished part of a Milky Way Masterclass on tracked MW images and how to blend them. This is my first attempt and I'm pretty happy with the results. I took a three-minute exposure of Skull Rock, and then went across the road up a short incline and captured six three-minute tracked images of the sky. The placement of the Dark Horse is about spot on for what I saw rising when taking the foreground. Edited in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop.

This shot was taken in Castelluccio di Norcia, Italy.
Me and my girlfriend arrived in Norcia in the afternoon, and waited for the night to come.
We knew that there the Sky Is really clear, so we were really excited. All around US there were horses running under the sunset. It was already so magical.
Than the sun went beside the mountains and the show began. One After One the stars started shining, and the Sky became Richer and Richer of lights, till finally the milky way core revealed himself to us.
I've never seen such an Amazing milky way. All I Remember are gosebumps while watching the cosmo's majesty.

Messier 13 (M13) was discovered by Edmond Halley in 1714. Charles Messier, on June 1, 1764 , added it to his list of objects not to mistake for comets; Messier's list, including Messier 13, eventually became known as the Messier Catalog. It has become a favorite listing of objects, fascinating to stargazers of all levels.
High overhead in August night skies, about one third of the way from Vega to Arcturus, four bright stars in the constellation of Hercules form the Keystone asterism. M13 can be seen partway between two of these stars, Zeta Herculis and Eta Herculis. Although only telescopes with great light-gathering capability fully resolve the stars of the Cluster, M13 can be visible to the naked eye depending on circumstances. With a low-power telescope, Messier 13 looks like a comet or fuzzy patch. With an apparent magnitude of 5.8, it is barely visible with the naked eye on clear nights.
In traditional binoculars, the Hercules Globular Cluster appears as a round patch of light. At least four inches of telescope aperture will allow resolving the stars in M13's outer extents as small pinpoints of light.
About 145 light-years in diameter, M13 is composed of several hundred thousand stars. M13 is 22,200–25,000 light-years away from Earth.
Compared to the stars in the neighborhood of the Sun, the stars of the M13 population are more than a hundred times denser. They are so densely packed together that they sometimes collide and produce new stars. The newly formed, young stars, so-called "blue stragglers," are particularly interesting to astronomers.
This image is my first foray into deep-sky color imaging using my dedicated color planetary camera, the ASI224MC. No flats, no darks, nor any other calibration frames. A set of 102 10-sec exposures were stacked using Sequator software.

Composition based on 67 photographs, each with a 60-second exposure (F4). They are first processed with Darktable (Linux), and then the star trail is integrated using the Sequator program (Windows), maintaining linearity up to this point. Next, using Darktable’s Composite module (Linux), a previously taken photo of the illuminated church is integrated. The resulting canvas is processed with Darktable, and finally, again using the Composite module, a photo showing the illuminated church windows—without overexposure—is added. As for the color temperature, a cooler tone was chosen for the sky and a warmer one for the ground and the church.

Believe it or not, the light beams on the horizon in this photo are from lobster boats!
A few nights ago I was out under the stars along the coast, and I saw some lights out on the ocean, way out on the horizon. I knew these were lights from lobster boats, as it is lobster season for New Brunswick and I was looking out towards Grand Manan. To my naked eye I could just see a little bit of a glow here and there, but when I took a picture I was blown away by what the camera was capturing! I’ve talked to a few lobstermen, and the working theory is that the incredibly bright forward facing lights on the boats were reflecting off the water up into the sky. Some boats have at least 4 lights up front that can be 1500 W each. There must have been a decent amount of moisture in the air for the lights to be so visible, and the low clouds over the lights seem to indicate that.
The very thin cloud cover provided for some interesting texture, and caught a bit of the glow from light pollution.
Nikon Z 6, NIKKOR Z 35mm f/1.8 S lens. The sky is a star stacked blend for pinpoint stars and low noise, consisting of 14 shots at f/1.8, ISO 3200, for 8s seconds each. I used Starry Landscape Stacker for the star stacking. SLS is only available on Mac but you can do this with Sequator on Windows. The foreground (including the boat light beams) is from a single 30 second shot at f/1.8 and ISO 1600.

The Monkey Head Nebula lies about 6,400 light years from Earth. NGC 2174 covers an area larger than the full Moon and can be seen in binoculars. The stellar nursery contains many young stars that are embedded within the surrounding dust and gas. These stars emit intense ultraviolet radiation which ionises the hydrogen gas, making the nebula glow.

I popped out this am at 4:30, was initially pestered by small whizzy clouds but eventually they buggered off and I managed to get an hour or so of decent data. I used the twin rig so collected 2 hours of data in 1 hour, popped the lens caps on as the sky started to lighten to get darks. I've thrown them through Sequator then photoshop with the starXterminator plugin and stretched, finally polished in Lightroom and DeNoise. 2 x Pentax K1ii's each with a FA 50mm f1.4 lens stopped to f4. I used the Benro Polaris to track and the internal intervalometer to shoot the images. Each of the images was 30s (max it would let me go) f4 ISO800.
