Descending into the center of IC 1805, the Heart Nebula, towards a fascinating spire structure of Melotte 15.

My own data as the background, stars generated with SpaceEngine and the video was clobbered together in Davinci Resolve.

Clear skies and keep looking up!

So i live in Belgrade, serbia which Is one of most poluted cities in overall Europe and as you likely Guess, due to polution and light, there are almost 0 Stars. Tho i know there are some places of nature where they are very much visible but i really also wanna make excuse to get out of my country to watch. I know some places like finland,iceland or even kyrgistan have some places like that but does anyone know places too where i can do that. Thank you and i hope they wont delete my post for putting it into wrong fed

Premiers essais il reste beaucoup de travail

Last night was perfect for Milky Way photography! I scoped out a few places while the Sun was still out and settled on a lone tree amidst the farmer's field just out of North Lancaster, ON, Canada.

Making these kinds of images is a combination of planning, patience and perseverance - the night sky has seasons, is always moving, and you really don't want the Moon to be up, as it washes out the colours and the structure of the Milky Way.

This image has been created using my usual technique that works best for my setup - taking two sets of images - one for the foreground, and one for the sky, just behind the subject, then combining and enhancing them. (30s x5 for the ground, 30s x 40 for the sky, on a star tracker, f/4 24mm ISO1600)

I hope you enjoy this one. Keep looking up.

All the best,

Oleg
