I like the lower part of this image but the night sky looks horrible. Some images dont need a composited night sky. Sometimes less is more.

he said it is a single 20 min exposure... if so then the low level clouds are blocking the dawn light which is why you see the night sky like that.

The OP stated the MW is 20 minutes. The ground has to be a seperate image.

This effect can be created in camera if you start before the sunrise and stop just when the light starts to appear. it is very hard tho.

20 minutes exposure and no star trails, guess it's possible with a 0.4mm lens (using the 500 rule)

Wow, I'm looking at getting a star tracker and this has just sold it me, amazing!
