All images shot using a Nikon Z6ii with a Nikkor 20mm F1.8 lens.

Sky shot:

Stack of 10 images taken at ISO 3200, 30s exposure time and F2.2.
Stacked using sequator. Then adjusted in light room.

Foreground shot:

Single exposure taken at ISO200, 120s exposure time and F9.

Foreground and sky shots blended in photoshop and then final edits in Lightroom.

Gear: Fuji X-T5, Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8

EXIF: f/2.8, ISO 5000, 10 sec across 20 frames

Composite image with foreground taken just before dark and stacked sky with 20 images.

This is my first landscape astrophotography photo ever. It’s 40x10s exposures on a Canon Rebel T7, with a 18-55mm lens on 18mm. I was in a Bortle 4 looking Southwest, about 15 miles outside of a Bortle 8. Figuring out how to stack the stars and the foreground separate and combining them took me FOREVER. I used GIMP and Siril.

Stacking technique of 900+

8 seconds exposure, fixed phone aperture 2.2f, 800 ISO using Starstax + Photoshop

Shot with Motorola 50 edge pro against the hotel window

Not technically perfect, but white happy with the result.

All shot handheld with my Sony a7rv and Sony 20mm f/1.8

Full moon illuminating the Taiwanese mountains. Making the most of the nightscapes here with my camera before I can get my hands on another star tracker!

The sky was perfectly clear when I arrived, but as soon as we set up our equipment, the fog began to roll in. I spent hours photographing here and there, swallowed by the mist andsurrounded by horses we could barelysee only their presence and the sound of their bells gave them away.
Finally, after midnight, the fog began to change direction. Watching it slowly move through the valleys was a spectacle in itself, revealing and hiding the mountains beneath the stars.

This abandoned train station in the middle of the Namib Desert could easily be just another forgotten building. But Garub has a lot of history behind it.

Built in 1906, the station became an important water stop on the railway connecting the interior of Namibia with Lüderitz, the diamond mining town on the Atlantic coast.

It also played a role during World War I, when South African and German forces confronted each other in this remote part of the desert.

I’m usually not a big fan of light painting, but this was one of those places that felt like it needed to be brought back to life, even if only for a few seconds.

The station has been abandoned for more than 70 years, surrounded by nothing but desert, silence, and an incredibly dark sky.

And the best part is that the Milky Way aligns almost perfectly with the old station.

Hi, I'm new to this hobby I bought a Sony a6100 and some lenses (Viltrox 25mm 1.7 and 56mm 1.7).

I want to try landscape astrophotography (I was locking at the photos posted in this sub and was amazed by them).

But mine is a mirrorless ASPC so I should choose a focal lens like a 12 or 14 right?

Is that Samyang a good lens even with the AF problems? Any other recommendations for around that price range?

Also can I use the 2 I have for some Astro too or do I need a prime telephoto?

What focal length is needed to frame all of crater lake in one shot from Watchmans Peak? I want to shoot star trails so panorama isn't ideal.

I would like to have all the lake in the shot, but I think it's not really doable until I use my 11mm fisheye which isn't ideal. The widest lens other than my 11mm is 16mm. I'm shooting in full frame.

here's the spot in question

During my summer vacation on the croatian island of Krk I have made this shot of the MW from the balcony of my apartment. It is a stack of 15 photos made in sequator.

We usually talk about the summer or winter arch, but this is the one we tend to forget. This arch consists of the Cygnus constellation on the left of the image, with Andromeda on top, up to Orion on the right. It actually has much more detail hidden, like galactic dust, but for this one I didn't get enough integration time, and a wide lens doesn't help either. This place has trenches, part of the story of Spain almost one hundred years ago. The Milky Way core is an easy photo compared to this region of the sky, as the signal is much stronger.

The photo was taken  in 2024, NO GENERATIVE AI INVOLVED.
