Tried just the top 2 rows of the mosaic and a B&W presentation.

I quite like it   another that seems better when you click into the image...

Crop from 9 pane mosaic.  Untracked 15s exposures.  Canon 6D MkII, Sigma 24mm.  LR, PS and ICE.

Quite a few flaws but okay at reading distance.  Much sharper when you click into the image!!  Cheers, Paul.

Hi All

Just in case you haven't seen my vid.  It is a visual pollution as well as an imaging problem...oh well.  Paul.

The end of the night sky as we know it..?  Just caught the second pass at the edge of the frame...

B&W version...

Dec 17th.  Part of a 15 panel mosaic...

Canon 6D MkII.  Sigma 24mm at f2.  20s and iso 1600 for sky.  30s and iso 3200 for foreground.

Lightroom, MS Image Composite Editor and Photoshop.   I prefer the view when you click into the image.

Love this image, looks like you have a couple of ideal scopes to enjoy that sky.

The 16" dob works well

That's incredible! What ISO and exposure did you use to capture the images?

Hi Adam

Thank you.  I think they were 20s at f4 and iso 3200...

...taken every 22s.

I am very pleased with it!! 

Paul

Early morning 30th October.  One to NW past Stac Pollaidh, other to SE.

Each Canon 6D MkII, Samyang 14mm, f4, 30s, iso3200.

Dark, with weirdly soft seeing/haze.  Hope colour balance looks okay.

I'm not sure if I can add more colour. 

I like that the colour is *not* overpowering.  All personal taste.

Great depth.

Paul

Wed 30th Oct.  NW Highlands.  Grab from 4K video stream.  Canon 6D MkII  Samyang 14mm 20s at f4 and iso3200.

Tricky!  I've annotated a copy with a line where the slanting oval of the gegenschein is 'visible'.  Shows best on thumbnail images!?

Can you see it?  Paul.

Single 30s for Milky Way, 120s foreground.  Canon 6D MkII, Samyang 14mm.  Lightroom and Photoshop.  21st October.  Paul.

P.S.  Click into the image for best view.

Hi Grant

Thank you for all your time on this.

I suggest going down to seasonal challenges, four a year.  Hopefully the range of entrants would be broader.  Limit the number of submissions per entrant if the number to judge gets too high.

Cheers

Paul

Looks good on my phone...

...single 30s for Milky Way, 120s foreground.  Canon 6D MkII, Samyang 14mm.  Lightroom and Photoshop.  Last night.  Paul.

Edit - easier to see if you click into the image.

...wait for it.  BTW, this does run smoothly when the various bits of the Interweb work correctly...
