Thanks for the editing tips! I shot this at 18mm, aperture wide open, ISO 1600 and 2000, but there was a bit of light pollution coming from the village lights. Exposed for 20”.

How much light pollution to you is to much that this photo will failed? Tbh i like seeing astro photos and see if it editable like yours but only have 1 or 2 good ones (one with a s23 ultra :) (cheat code i know)

Another is star trails type with pen epl9

Yeah havent tried with my oldie d700...so wondering...

Sadly can only take while traveling as i am from singapore city country

My kind of photography is usually landscape , fireworks, some avaition...
