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.

I've been learning astrophotography for the last couple weeks, and this is my best result so far.

I'm fighting a lot of light pollution on the horizon, but this one turned out nice and clear, if not a little washed out above the tree line.

 

This was 100, eight second images stacked using Sequator.

This is my first Milky Way photo from Midwest Hungary which has one of the darkest skies in the country. Shiny Jupiter starts to enter the center of the Milky Way, while Saturn (bottom left) already left that region.

My third and final location from my Sunday morning (6/9/2019) excursion.

I saw this when I was scouting my "Is There Anyone Out There?" location (that I posted yesterday); it is just a little further down the same dirt road. I also originally shot this the same night (right after) that house with the antenna, but I decided to come back because I wanted a better view of the cotton field (which fortunately hadn't been stripped yet). I carried a step ladder, two tripods, a light stand and my backpack full of camera gear about 100 feet or so through tall grass and weeds (in the dark) to get this shot. I zip tied both tripods onto the top of the ladder and also extended them up as high as they would go (probably getting the cameras about 8 feet above the ground). Once everything was set, I used my remote to fire the cameras (to avoid any kind of shake in my crazy set up). I was lucky that there was little to no wind that night. I thought it was kind of funny how it looks like the loader got stuck pushing tumble weeds...

Shot with a Fuji X-H1 and Samyang 12mm f/2.0; (5) 15 second shot + (2) dark frames @ f/2.0; ISO 3200; 3800K WB; (2) LED panels for LLL (one camera right about 100ft behind me; the other camera left maybe 70ft to the side and pointing toward the cotton field); there was also quite a bit of ambient light from a Gin about 1-1/2 miles away (behind). Stacked in Sequator with final edits in Photoshop using a few plugins and actions.

Galactic Center stacked. Experimented with stacking multiple exposures to reduce noise and increase detail. Definitely increased detail. Need to work on the noise reduction some more. I shot these without a tracking mount a couple summers ago at Observatory Park in Geauga County, Ohio. The stacked version uses 5 light frames plus 5 dark frames, 15 sec. ISO 4000, 24mm f3.5 stacked using Sequator (my 1st time) and processed in Lightroom. The trees along the bottom were layer blended in Photoshop from a single exposure.

An approaching car's headlights painted the scene nicely by chance and I love how the light gives depth beyond the tree.

My third location (of five) from last weekend; by this time it was Saturday morning about 1-1:30AM (6/29/2019).

Shot with my Fuji X-T2 and Samyang 8mm f/2.8 fisheye; (5) 15 second shots + (2) dark frames @ f/2.8, ISO 6400, 3800K WB. Stacked in Sequator, fisheye correction with Imadio Fisheye Hemi & DxO Viewpoint, final edits in Adobe Photoshop using a few Topaz plugins along the way.

On a side note, there were two tractors out running about in a field about a mile to the East of here while I was shooting....

A few months ago I posted a shot of this house with the Milky Way with the trusses exposed (I did the truss designs). Now the house is nearing completion so I went back out there and got another shot now that its almost done.

A series of 9 light painted shots for the bridge at 9 seconds each and ISO 400, f/7.1. A bit tricky to get light painting from extreme left as small creek runs through, Lots of rocks to clamber over in the dark to get up to near the bridge.

The sky is 5 shots at 24mm, f/2.8, ISO 6400 and stacked in Sequator and a star reduction applied in Photoshop.

I was here well before sunset. I took the last star shot only 90 minutes after sunset. I think I needed to go out a bit later for a brighter milky way.

Merry Christmas one and all.

This is taken in bortle 5 skies with a nearly full moon. It is processed in Photoshop and stacked in Sequator. for some reason this photo isn't in full quality, but still showcases a decent photo.

This nova located in the sky near the beautiful nebulae M8 and M20. I took this photo on October 10, 2020. Canon EOS 60D (135mm lens, stack of 50 photos x 10 seconds in Sequator, ISO-6400, f/5.6), on the tripod.

One of the 48 constellations described by the 2nd-century astronomer Ptolemy, Leo remains one of the 88 modern constellations today, and one of the most easily recognizable due to its many bright stars and a distinctive shape that is reminiscent of the crouching lion it depicts. The lion's mane and shoulders also form an asterism known as "The Sickle," which to modern observers may resemble a backwards "question mark." - Wikipedia

This was a "bonus shot" from my third location from a week ago Saturday (6/29/2019). When I scouted this location my wife was with me and she said she thought this would make a good shot; she liked how the one tree was hanging on to life (and appeared to be reaching out to the galaxy in search of it) while the others around it lay lifeless. So this one is for my lovely wife Nancy posted today on her Birthday (7/9).

I found this really cool old church not far from my home, so I decided to check it out at night for some astrophotography. Light pollution is not bad at this location, so the sky was really beautiful.

I took this photo with my Nikon D750 and Tamron 15-30 2.8 G2 lens. The light from the builkding comes from a candle I lit.

Hallo zusammen

Nach der Arbeit konnte ich vom Glaubenberg aus ein paar Fotos von der Milchstrasse machen. Nun im Herbst muss man nicht mehr solange warten, aber leider sieht man das Milchstrassezentrum nicht mehr ganz.

Die Aufnahme Richtung Süden hat hier den Nachteil, das Thun und Bern schon recht hell leuchten....

Da ist man weiter östlich und im Sommer etwas weniger betroffen....

Weiter sieht man den Komet C/2023 A3 (Tsuchinshan-ATLAS) noch in der Mitte rechts im Bild.

Das ist ein Stack in Sequator aus 13 Bilder, wieder vergessen die Dark's zu machen :-(, entwickelt in DxO und Paintshop beschrieben. Da geht sicher noch was, sollte mich mal hinter die Bücher und Anleitungen machen.

Aufgenommen mit der Nikon D850, dem Sigma 20/1.4 bei f 1.8, ISO 1600 und 8 Sek. Belichtungszeit.....

Hoffe das Bild gefällt euch und vielleicht gibt es diese Wochen noch mal ein paar....

Gruss Martin

The Milky way over an on old abandoned rail bridge at Salt Creek, Reedy Creek road, South Australia about 03:00 hs 4/3/25

I took 8, light painted shots of the bridge at 20mm with Z7II.

Then I moved to the other side of the bridge and at roughly the same angle, I took 2 shots of the milky way at 20mm with D800 astro mod camera.

One shot at 60 sec and another at 90 seconds

I blended these 2 shots with Sequator and RC Astro. Then combined to 2 shots in photoshop..

Lots of graffiti on the bridge and a lot of graffiti had been painted over with grey paint.

There was a lot of grass on top of the bridge but it was too hard to blend in the fine bits so I had to leave that out.

I had spent about 3 hours on the cliffs above Kynance Cove in Cornwall shooting the Milky Way and doing a time-lapse with a second camera. On my way back to the car park I realised it must be nearly low tide so spent about 10 minutes taking some Milky Way shots from the Beach.

 

I prefer the results from the Beach.

 

(The time-lapse was a complete fail).

This was a very busy night. Not just with other photographers, but I shot my first 360 image timelapse, I shot stacked images, foreground/tracked sky images & some film shots..... 1 tracker, 3 cameras & 2 tripods. It was fun!!
