Architecture of Cosmos

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

Last week I went to this emblematic lighthouse on the coast of A Coruña but the weather was not on our side and I was unable to take the planned shot. However, I brought home an interesting panorama that I posted a few days ago that I took during the blue hour.

Despite that bad experience, I did not give up and we decided that we should try again the next night. So we returned to Punta Nariga and prepared everything for the night session.

After planning the shot the night before, I had some of the work done and I just had to get the tripod back where I wanted while I waited for the magic hour.

It took 10 shots stacked to get the highest quality and the best noise reduction possible for the sky and another 15 shots to ensure sharpness on the ground/foreground.

Additionally, I started a new workflow for Milky Way processings following the lessons of Dan Zafra from Capture the Atlas.

I still have a lot to learn and improve but this is my starting point!
