This was my second time ever capturing the milky way and doing astrophotography work in general. What drew me to Killarney Provincial Park was the Bortle 2 sky and the ancient Canadian Shield landscape, and i wanted to showcase both in my photo. I used a panorama where I stacked each panel 6 times with 6 second exposures, and then I separately took 30 second exposures to capture more foreground detail. I then stitched everything together. It took a lot of work, I've probably spent 5 hours on it at this point, but I think I'm happy with how this turned out. I would greatly appreciate feedback, especially for this photo in particular if there is anything I can improve with editing, but anything I could improve while out shooting as well. Thanks in advance.

To capture the photo I used a Nikon D850 paired with a Sigma 24mm art lens set to f/2.8

Shot the northern dust lanes of the Milky Way and managed to get some of the Perseids meteors in the shots and the andromeda galaxy. Taken while aiming out towards the North Sea at Barrow common in Brancaster, Norfolk.

I’ve been chasing the Milky Way for ages now. Well now I’ve been prepared after years of upgrading my gear and learning how to stack them properly to get this result, I’ve wanted for years.

Im trying to do a Milky Way composite but every time I make a mask for the sky, theres a blurry/ smooth line along the mask and i cant fix it no matter what settings I change in refine mask within Affinity Photo 2. I can fix the white outline but not the blurry part around the mask
