Very nice Greg I really like the detail on the LMC and the pin point stars throughout the frame. A beauty!

Thanks Carlos. The Polarie is a great little mount.

Beautiful image as are the others in this section. Could you briefly explain Greg the process using photoshop in which you tacked on the stars and then did a single image on the lanscape and then combined them so you had the stars tracked and a clear forground.

Thanks

Thanks Mark.

This shot here is 3 x 90 second shots stacked. I did not do a separate foreground shot for this shot.

I did that on the other one - the Rising Milky Way. Basically I made 2 images. Then I layered in the foreground as a hide all layer and rubbed in the areas of the foreground.

Greg.
