night sky

This is from a week or two ago in the San Juans at Dallas Divide in SW Colorado. My goal and focus was doing Deep Space Astro with my long lens and tracker, but of course I still set up cameras for timelapses. I haven't gotten any timelapses done since I am back at my daughters and the 6...

Since so many of us are playing around and learning how to do Timelapse video, I found a bunch of Milky Way shots I took from Joshua Tree back in June of this year while out shooting Deep Sky Astro with my D850. While that camera was focused on a few different Nebula's and Galaxies, I had 3...

Monday evening... Christmas Star or the conjunction Saturn and Jupiter.... cc welcome.star,

A friend here in Colorado told me I need to check out Mono Lake if I was going to go to Yosemite. The first day when Jim and I got there is was snowing, cold and overcast but the following night when we had finally decided it would be best to shoot Mono at night rather than Mammoth due to time...

Anyone tried Loxia 35mm or 21mm with Sony for astrophotography? Just wondering how good is it for Astro, I'm just thinking about using the loxia 35mm with A7S for astro pano, any suggestions? Thanks

This is my starting point for processing night sky photos in Lightroom. This uses a cooler white balance and more noise reduction than my daytime preset. From this starting point I generally set the white/black points either with the white/black sliders or the point curve. I then adjust the...
