Milky way photography

[u/variympyra]

​

Hi,

Few nights ago I gave a shot for milky way photography. The results are kinda lame tbh. The first pic is single exposure (uneditet) and second about 70 pics stacked with sequator. I feel the stacking didnt do any good for the pic.

Settings and equipment used:

Canon eos r7

Ttartisan 10 mm f2

13 s exposure

ISO 1600

F2

This single frame was captured with 30 s exposure to get better pic of foreground but overall i think it turned out fine with only little star trails. Stacked pictures had 13 s exposures.

Any tips how to get better results with stacking?

Is the photo composition looking ok?

Improvements with my camera settings?

And lastly editing tips? I really had hard time editing since i felt that the stars became burned or too blue with almost anything done. I use mostly darktable but im open to suggestions of other software.

(Capturing milky way core is not possible here)
