Description

This is a composite. MW image is made up of 8 40sec 12 frame stacks. Plus 17 Dark frames. Total 113 frames X's 40 sec. When one stacks several images that include the ground and then stitch the results, there is no way I know to avoid the foreground becoming a blurry mess. Hence, the separate foreground frames. Foreground is 3 frames stitched in Affinity Photo at twilight, same equipment in the exact same location, but different exposure: F11 1/200 sec, ISO 200. For all frames I used Sony ILCE-6000 with Sigma f2.8 60mm lens. Milky Way frames were 40 sec. f3.5, ISO 3200. I used camera tripod with a Star Adventurer mount. For software I used Starry Landscape Stacker, Affinity Photo for Panos, Topaz Denoise AI for noise, and Luminar Neo for further processing.
