IISAC Milky Way Rising

Hi all,

Another image I have been working on since IISAC. This is a 2 image composite of the Milky Way rising over the trees at Lostock. I have always wanted to do a tracked long exposure with a nice sharp foreground and these 2 exposures enabled me to do that.

Milkyway is a single 2 minute exposure shot with the Canon 6D and Sigma 50mm f/1.4 lens @ f/3.5 ISO3200 tracked using the NEQ6Pro mount.

The foreground is a 30 second untracked exposure.

High Res shot here.

Higher Res shot here.

Adding the two images together eliminates having the trees blurred due to tracking and as well as ensuring pinpoint stars during the 2 minute exposure.

Feedback much appreciated!

Thanks,

Jason
