Hocking Hills August 24, 2022
Taken at our cabin we stayed in last week at Hocking Hills shot with my unmodified Nikon D7500 and Sigma Art 18-35 Wide Angle lens @ 18mm
I had to go old school shooting short, 20 sec subs. As my Star Adventurer is not working properly right now. The direction arrows keep flashing.
BG: Milky Way is a 4 panel panoramic image consisting of 20 - 20 sec F2.2, ISO 1600 subs stacked in Sequator. Stitched with Microsoft ICE. Edited in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
FG: Shot during the blue hour at 1 sec F2, ISO 200
Combined/Edited in Photoshop
Thanks Nebula Photos for your help with combining the two images
Une nuit ... la belle Andromède est entrée dans mon jardin ... Dans la mythologie grecque, Andromède (en grec ancien Ἀνδρομέδα / Androméda) est une princesse éthiopienne. Fille du roi Céphée, elle est victime de l'orgueil de sa mère Cassiopée. Exposée nue sur un rocher pour y être dévorée par un monstre marin, elle est sauvée de justesse par Persée dont elle deviendra l'épouse. Une nouvelle passion .... l'astrophotographie ???? oui c'est fun j'ai acheté une monture motorisée ... et j'aime l'idée de pouvoir photographier les animaux , les paysages... et maintenant le ciel profond avec mes outils ....
Ma première photo 'satisfaisante' de M31 .
Canon 7D MK2 -- Sigma 120-400 à 400mm -- f/5.6 -- 300 poses de 15s --- ISO 1000 --- --- monture Star Adventurer -- traitement SEQUATOR +Lightroom
Tried my hand at Lunar Photography last night, not something I normally do.
I had the big Sigma 150 to 600mm lens on, camera set upon the tripod, manually focused and the fired off half a dozen shots.
The image looks a bit hazy, this is partly due to atmospherics, I stacked the images using Sequator, edited the stacked image in PS. I took the photographs from my back garden in Nottinghamshire
Taken from North Oxfordshire, UK on 13th June 2023. I was out imaging between 23:15 - 00:10 BST. Camera was a Canon 1100D with Canon 10-18mm wide angled lens at 10mm focal length. 25 seconds at ISO-3200 f/4.5.
12 lights + 12 darks were stacked using Sequator, using the freeze foreground option and also the light pollution removal option, which did a fantastic job.
Processing was done in Lightroom and Fast Stone Image Viewer
We don't reach full astronomical darkness in June plus it was quite hazy low down near the horizon so the light pollution was being amplified all along that area, but at this time of year we see the most of the region near to the galactic core so I shot these images last while the sky was at its darkest.
Taken from my back garden with a street light 10 meters away. 103 x 30 second shots with my Canon 6D and Sigma 70-200 lens at 200m f3.5. Stacked in Sequator and processes in Photoshop to remove the light pollution. It was as clear a night as you'll get in Middlewich, happy with the result as it was just an practice before going to a darker location.

The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45, are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars in the north-west of the constellation Taurus. It is among the star clusters nearest to Earth, it is the nearest Messier object to Earth, and is the cluster most obvious to the naked eye in the night sky. (Source - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleiades)

Hallo zusammen
Zurzeit versuche ich, die Milchstrasse mit Stack und Panorama mit dem 35mm, f1.4 von Sigma mit der D850 oder Z7II aufzunehmen. Mein Ziel ist, das ich den Milchstrassebogen mit dieser Kombi aufnehmen kann und somit viel mehr Struktur und Details als mit dem 14 oder 20mm bekomme.
Ich arbeite dabei mit dem Nodalpunkt von Novoflex und mache dann pro Position 15-20 Fotos. Wie ich gelehrt habe, beginne ich dann von Westen her und arbeite gegen die Erddrehung, so sollte man weniger Versatz haben. Was mir aber auch aufgefallen ist, dass die Helligkeit des Himmels zu dieser Jahreszeit doch noch schwer zu händeln ist, so ein Pano mit 14 Hochkantbilder, zu je 20 Aufnahmen, bei einer Belichtungszeit von 6-8sek, dann noch Spiegelvorauslösung und Puffer, braucht doch beachtlich viel Zeit. Dann kommt noch die zweit (und wie ihr unten sehen könnt, braucht es eine dritte Reihe) und in dieser Zeit verändert sich die Helligkeit, resp. die Dunkelheit schon etwas……
Also wie ihr unten sehen könnt, habe ich es verbockt. Viel aufwand beim Aufnehmen, dann Bearbeitung in DxO, stacken in Sequator und dann das Pano in PanoramaStudio pro zusammensetzten. Um dann zu sehen, das der obere Teil des Milchstrassebogen fehlt ?
Was ich aber auch immer machen, ist eine Sicherheitsserie mit dem 20 oder 14mm um wenigsten etwas zu haben.
Dieses Bild ist aus 21 Bilder und 5 Darks gestackt worden. Aufgenommen mit dem 20mm von Sigma.
Ich hoffe das Bild gefällt euch.
Gruss Martin

Bolton Castle is a 14th-century castle located in Wensleydale, North Yorkshire, UK.
Deep in the Yorkshire Dales on a cold November night, I was pleased how this image came out. This was despite the glare from the light overlooking the castle entrance on the right and street light glow on the left (probably Manchester 60 miles to the south).

15 photos stacked in Sequator. Shot with Canon 6d and Sigma 1.8 Art lens; f2.0, 15 second exposure, iso 3200
Taken Friday, July 17th at Letha House Park in Medina County, Ohio. This photo is a 52 minute star trail made from 526 consecutive shots, each 6 seconds long, ISO 800, 15mm @ f2.8, Nikon D810. The star trail was created using Sequator's star trail feature with the "motion" box checked. I removed 6 aeroplanes from the star trail using the healing brush in Photoshop. The remaining streak is the International Space Station.
The star field/comet is made of 60 of those shots stacked in Sequator using the "Freeze ground" feature.
I took the star field shot and enhanced the stars in Photoshop using the StarSpikes Pro 4 filter to add the glow. Then I lighten blended that layer over the star trail also in Photoshop.

20x 2minute subs stacked in Sequator.
Captured with my star adventurer mount and my Canon 500d (unmodified). It was taken in bortle 5 and consist of eight 4 minute exposures at ISO 200 and F4.5. The software's I used for it were: Photoshop, gradientxterminator, starnet++ and sequator.
This is one of the most active regions of the Orion constellation, showcasing Barnard's loop, the hoarse head nebula, the flame nebula, the Orion nebula, the Iris nebula and the witch head nebula. I took about 3 hours of exposure in bortle 4 skies and the rest were taken in bortle 5. The total integration time was 12 hours and I was taking 4 minute exposures. I stacked it in Sequator and processed it in Photoshop.

15 mph wind gusts made it tough to get round stars.
The small galaxy is eating the bigger one.
The tidal interaction with NGC 5195, which was not discovered until the advent of radio astronomy, has considerably enhanced the spiral structure of the Whirlpool Galaxy. Astronomers believe that it is also triggering waves of new star formation.

My so far best attempt at stacking and bringing out the details in the comet that visited us in July 2020. I used a Samyang 50mm F1.2 at f/1.4. Not quite satisfied with the light pollution gradient and a dark central region resulting from Sequator stacking software.

Hallo zusammen
Gestern Nacht bin ich noch kurz raus, so etwas improvisiert, da es eine Sternenklare Nacht werden sollte. Also so kurz nach Mitternacht die Sachen gepackt und ein paar Meter von mir zu Hause auf Feld. Das Ziel war, unsere Ruine mit der Milchstrasse aufzunehmen, das Ziel ist immer noch.....
Ich dachte mir, ein paar Aufnahmen mit der D850 und dem Sigma 14-24/2.8 und ein paar Aufnahmen mit der Z7II und dem 50/1.8...... Ja und wenn man dann so improvisiert rausgeht, hat man halt dann Stress, mit dem Fernauslöser, der Stirnlampe, nur 1 Stativ dabei, Hochkant geht nicht so richtig..... Einfach nur Stress....
Ich dachte mir, ich mache so etwa 15 Aufnahmen und setzte diese dann zusammen (hier mit Sequator) und dann gibt das super Bilder... Ich bin noch nicht zufrieden..
In der nächst möglichen Nacht geht's wieder raus, aber dieses mal richtig ;-)
Gruss Martin
ps. die Fotos mit der Z7II wurden bei ISO 3200, f1.8, 10sek aufgenommen.

Hawaii local time 2017-Dec-18 ~5:50am. Unmodified Canon 60D, Rokinon 16mm f/2 stop down to f/4, ISO 4000, 10 * 10 s coadded in Sequator, noise reduction in Fitswork and stretch in Photoshop.
As soon as I finished taking these images, heavy smog rolled in and all the stars disappeared. Since our vehicle had been parked there for awhile without ignition, the temperature of the windscreen was well below the freezing point. The humid fog formed a layer of hard frost there, and the windscreen wipers couldn't wipe it off. Kevin had to manually scrape the frost, and I did feel sorry for causing that... But the beauty of the morning sky was definitely rewardable!
Comet NEOWISE - 7/17/2020. I was able to get the ion tail!
That's narrower one above the dust tail. Taken around 10:30 pm at Letha House Park in Medina County. Made of 60, 2 second exposures, 300mm, f5.6, ISO 6400, stacked in Sequator. Equivalent to a 2 minute exposure.
My first attempt at stacking images using Sequator. This is eight sky images of 15 seconds each.
Little Pee Dee State Park in South Carolina.
I used a program called Sequator to stack 12 5-second exposures taken without tracking. On the left are the Southern Cross and the Coalsack, and on the right are the Carina Nebula and the large open clusters that surround it. Taken from my south-facing hotel window in Gisenyi, Rwanda on 2018 June 16. (12 frame composite: Nikon D5500, Nikon AF 50mm f/1.8D at f/2.8, 5 seconds, iso 3200)
12 individual images were taken with a modded Sony A6000 (APSC) equipped with STC Multispectra Filter and 1.4/56mm Sigma @f1.7 and ISO 1600. Stacked with Sequator. High Clouds were passing and introduced the softening effect.

Summary of a long night photographing the Milky Way (some will say I'm milking it!). All captured last weekend in Cap Blanc, Mallorca. Cap Blanc is a nice place with little light pollution (for now at least... 'cause the local government is planning to sell the military grounds around to promoters... So I fear that some day it'll be covered with villas and holiday rentals).
The video contains my first timelapse of the milky way, made with 165 individuals photos (a 25 sec exposure every 30 seconds).
I hadn't thought of the varying level of light from the lighthouse from shot to shot (hard to control for it unless one is prepared to take every picture manually and count time each picture on the lighthouse light schedule precisely...), so there is some flickering.

This may not look like much but I'm pretty happy with it as its my first attempt at star tracking and was taken from the outskirts of Bristol which is heavily light polluted. The 3 diagonal stars at the top are Orion's belt and the 'smudge' near the bottom is the Orion Nebula. This is the result of stacking and processing 30 frames, each frame was a 60sec exposure at f5.6, ISO 800 taken at 62mm using a Nikon D300 and a Tokina 28-70 f2.6-2.8 lens. The 30 frames were stacked in Sequator and processed in Lightroom and Photoshop....the image is cropped......hopefully I'll get better at this with a bit more practice, darker skies and maybe a longer focal length lens👍

24 frames (10 seconds each) stacked using Sequator. This one is using a 2X Barlow, for 2700 mm f/18 on a Celestron 4SE. Slightly different development process and color treatment than the previous shot. The narrower field-of-view amplifies the "blobbiness" of the stars and you can't see as much of the nebula, so I prefer the other. Also couldn't quite pull out as much of the nebulosity on the left-hand side of this image.
