Aurora(s) as far south as mid latitudes North America tonight - tomorrow!

I am fairly new to Milky Way photography and after going out a few times with a Canon RF 15-35mm F2.8L lens, which is great, I was craving more. More light that is.

Hello,

Other than aurora I've never really had much luck shooting astro, the results just never lived up to expectations.

I wasn't sure this was going to work but I think it came out better than expected.

And here is my first picture with the whole arch of the Milky Way.

Memories of a night doing night photography on top of the castle of Castro Laboreiro.

In the municipality of Cartelle in Galicia (SP) there is an old abandoned mine. In this mine, there is a turquoise blue water pool that is a real attraction for anyone who wants to take a picture.

This is a composite of two images stitched vertically. I wanted an anchor for the Milky Way and the leading lines of the rocks helped frame my perspective.

I've been experimenting with some time blending. This was my first time trying this so I am definitely open to any/all feedback. Especially if you have experience with doing this.

I recently stayed a couple nights out on Chincoteague Island on the eastern shore of Virginia. I was planning on doing a night shot of the lighthouse out there but the park closed at 10.

I'm not sure which I like better.

It's been a long time since I've shot this one At least 15 years. So I decided to have another go at it the other night. I had guiding issues that caused me to dump half my images.

Looking for clear skies in the province of Ourense. In this case on the border with Portugal, including the Xurés-Gerês Biosphere Reserve.

A few days ago I visited the beautiful village of Castro Laboreiro, part of the Peneda Gerês Natural Park in Portugal. A wonderful place with an old fortress from where I framed this Milky Way.

We arrived here at night, after many hours of travel. We could not see much since there was no moon and the light pollution is very low.

We arrived at this point on the Galician coast at half past three in the morning. The moon was setting over the sea (79%).

Whispers from the past! Reminisce of a star that blew up a long time ago. Shot with a SVBony 503 80mm scope, Altair hypercam 183C, under Bortle 8-9 skies. 1:12 total time.

Took this amazing shot of the galactic core after a month of wildfires and inversion in the Salt Lake Valley in Utah, a 3 hour trek up the mountains to the Franklin Basin gave way to AMAZINGLY clea

Incredible beach on the north coast of Spain, where water and sea have shaped the cliffs for hundreds of years.

Just sharing. It was amazing to finally get to see a total eclipse without clouds interfering.

Tracked/Blend Nikon D750 12mm Rokinon . One of my favorite image made during my Spiti tour.It was a challenging night. Finding transportation was the first to begin with.

Shot this picture in January of 1992 using a Minolta SRT-102, Celestron C90 1000mm mirror lens with a 2x Tele-extender. I think the film was Fujichrome, but can't remember the exposure details.
