Flame and Horsehead Nebula , 9 x 180 sec and 14 x 90 sec exposures stacked in Sequator. Canon 60D on Skywatcher Quattro 250P F4 .
Made a special trip out to Pea Island last night to capture the Milky Way rising above the Life Saving Station. I wouldn’t have found this composition if it weren’t for my son Brandon. We were out scouting on Thursday night, and he led me down to the water where we stumbled on this scene. 15 exposures for the sky, blended in Sequator. 3 exposures for the foreground, two were light painted and one just for the lamp.

Milky way on meadow near the Liberec. It was -1°C and 77% humidity. Panorama is consist of 5×5 photos, stacked in Sequator.
After meeting up with an out of town photographer at the Bodie Island Lighthouse, he asked if there were any other spots that were good for astro. I told him of a nearby place that was excellent for it. He persuaded me to show him the spot. I grabbed two compositions, this one being the second. I did light paint the life saving station, but I liked the orange glow presented by the rising moon. This was a composite of 15 photos stacked in Sequator for the sky. I picked the best 5 photos (Cars were on the bridge in the background) and aligned and stacked in Photoshop. The two resulting images were then blended in Photoshop.

A night panorama of the Milky Way passing in front of a large cave entrance.
It's a long, rough, sandy road to get there, worse than driving in to White Pocket, with trees scratching the sides of your vehicle for the last several miles. It's not appropriate for tall vehicles.
There was a guy with a camera that had poor high ISO performance, so he had bright light panels set up and was taking 5 and 10-minute exposures for over an hour. I believe this was captured after he dimmed them to 5% power.
I combined 24 images to create this panorama image. The Milky Way is exactly where it was in each image; no layers or Photoshop were used to fake or substitute the sky.
No compositing/time-shifting.
No tracking mount.
No noise images, no long exposure foreground images.
No new camera or back-lit sensor.
No multiple focal lengths, no focus stacking.
No Photoshop, no layers, 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!
Hot Creek flows down from Mammoth Lakes and becomes geothermally heated as it mixes with another source. These steam effusions are the result of the ambient temp being below freezing in this case(23 F) and the flowing creek water being much warmer or even hot. There are periodic geysers as well that shoot 6ft straight up. People are no longer permitted to swim here as there have been 14 deaths in recent years.
This is a vertical pano with the DFA 90mm 2.8 Macro lens on the 645Z, composite image. The sky incorporates about 12 8-sec exposures, fed into Sequator and Star XTerminator for processing. Foreground uses 6 high ISO frames, median blended for noise reduction with some spot edits here and there.
Hope you like it!

32x 13 second shots, F2.5, ISO1600, stacked in Sequator for noise reduction
The main course after the beautiful sunset was equally delicious. The clouds moved over and let the stars have a turn.
I did some stacked shots in Sequator but the singles from just after blue hour were more pleasing on the eye.
I just wish I was an little more hardocore so I could have stuck around for the Milkyway rising just after 3 but I'm not.
I'm sure I'll be back again soon as this place is so beautiful after dark.

This night I planned shooting perseids, but this has been created from it. :D It was very cold night 4°C and 70% humidity.
Shooted at 3:02 and compose from 10 photos of sky (iso3200, f3.5, 20s), foreground (iso6400, f4, 120s), stacked in Sequator.
(Update: Mystery solved, the satellite was CSO 1, a French military imaging satellite. Thanks ehrwien for pointing me toward Stellarium!)
Colorful and bright Perseid meteor traveled "up" from the bottom left of the frame, and much later a mystery satellite crossed right in the middle of Andromeda.
I don't know what this satellite was, maybe it's one of SpaceX's starlink sats? It went across the entire frame from left to right starting at around 2:54 AM Pacific DST on Aug/15 2020, but the leftmost part was cut because it was between two frames.
Interesting that the color of the meteor changed during the flight, greenish at first and later turning into orange. This is real, it's there in a single frame before any post-processing.
Shot from my heavily light-polluted back yard. Total exposure 1150 sec, each either 30 or 40 sec at ISO3200. I first made a stack of 1150 sec using sequator, loaded it in photoshop, then loaded two individual frames containing meteor and satellite, respectively, as separate layers, used visibility mask to only blend the trajectory into the stack.
BTW no tracking mount was used, this was all done on a weeny travel tripod, fine tracking was all done by the camera (Astrotracer to move the sensor), and a rough "tracking" was done manually each 10 minutes or so by moving the ballhead.
With green airglow in the sky, we arrived back at the parking lot with a couple of minutes to spare, so we went to a nearby puddle that I had scouted earlier for a quick reflection shot before departing.

My first attempt using the Sony a1 for astrophotography. It is somewhat noisier, but still usable. For this shot of the Tuolumne River cascade under the Milky Way I combined 5 shots in Sequator. Each shot was taken with the Sony 16-35mm lens at 19mm, ISO 6400, 15 seconds, f/2.8. I find it interesting that Sequator kept the pinpoint stars, but allowed the moving clouds to blur as if they were taken with a longer exposure.
Been working on processing improvements for star stacking using Sequator software (free)

Another simple Milky Way, took a ride down to Lake Mattamuskeet and the skies were clear. The only problem was the wind. It was blowing about 20 MPH with gusts to 35. Had to get creative and park the car right next to the camera to break the wind. This is a composition of 15 sky photos stacked in Sequator, and 11 light painted foreground photos stacked in Photoshop. The results were then stacked in Photoshop.

This is an image part of the constellation Scorpius. It shows the bright yellow star Antares and Scorpius Head area with the colourful Rho Ophiuchi nebulosity field.
I took this image straight after I photographed the milkyway arch over Mt Ruapehu in my previous upload.
This image is a stack of 5 photos taken with my 105mm Sigma lens. Tracked for 60 secs each. ISO 3200, F/4. Stacked in Sequator and some PP in Affinity Photo.
The inset at the top left shows where you can find Rho Ophiuchi in the sky with reference to the brightest part (the core) of our galaxy.
If you are in an area dark enough you can see this constellation with your naked eye.
I spent my holidays this year with my son's camera on La Reunion.
This image was taken from a RAW, from which 10 TIFF were generated in LR. The TIFF files were stacked with Sequator. The result again slightly reworked in LR.
I had this image in mind for a long time before I was able to capture it. It's a remote place, it's generally too hot during Milky Way season, it requires a hike on sand carrying camera gear, and sensor noise can be particularly high in the heat.
On my first visit, by the time the sky was as dark as it was going to get, the temperature was still 93 degrees! Not conducive to a hike on sand, and at that temperature digital sensors perform poorly. I definitely missed the coolness of higher altitudes!
I returned for the same Milky Way position the following year, and the temperatures were much more comfortable for me and for the sensor.
Re-processing a bracketed image sequence from July 2016.
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 special lighting, or added light.
No new camera or back-lit sensor.
No multiple focal lengths, no focus stacking.
No Photoshop, no layers, no sky or foreground substitution (just Lightroom and a shareware app or two).

combined 2 images, one from the foreground at iso 500 and a 2 minute exposure, second one from the night sky --> 15 images shot at iso 8000 / 15 sec. per picture and stacked in sequator. Both put together in photoshop.
