Description

With my RASA 8 pointed at the new plentiful nebula in the sky, I have been dabbling with widefield Milky Way landscapes. I am learning to use photoshop to blend the still foreground image with the tracked sky image. It's been a fun new challenge. I also tried my hand at a triple composite with the stars from the pond taken on a single 30 second exposure, the foreground at ISO 1600 for 120 seconds, and the stack of sky photos.

I have attached the luminance image that are quite striking for both images. It's hay cutting and bailing season in Kansas and the half/bailed field plus the implements on the horizon line add an unique effect.

My backyard has some light pollution issues with the glow of Kansas City in the Lower left and a local grain facility on the lower right. These usually don't cause problems for deep sky, but causes some headaches for the wide field. Definitely a work in progress.
