StarRaver

Thank you Andy, this was taken under a Fairly dark sky on the beach just outside Plymouth city center.

this and my other milky way pics were my first ever attempt at taking pictures of the night sky.

they turned out ok with no knowledge about photography or astronomy, or no processing skills.

hopefully I can get out again this summer and try again with everything i have learnt so far

Very atmospheric kell, you processed the ones from the other night yet ?

Simply stunning ! beats my attempt lol

Stunning Capture chap, Loads of detail in the nebulosity I would be very happy with that

M45 and Orion are looking nice in this shot nicely framed, Shooting stars or a sat ? in the pic

Liking your star trails, never had a go at this when using a fixed tripod, I might have a look in to it myself

Thank you both,

Stuart, I cant believe this is only my third attempt to, I was very surprised once I started pulling out the detail in Photoshop at how much I managed to get out of the stacked image. This is the first image I have used flats in and it certainly makes a difference in the final picture.

Just need to get some shorter exposures for the core detail as it is a bit washed out and try to get some more data to sort out the Signal to noise, maybe a few lessons in Photoshop as well lol

Thank you it is a meteor that i managed to catch on my last shot of the night
