This summer I wanted to capture the milky way with a light house in front of it. I understand I would want the foreground (lighthouse) sharp, so I wouldn't do a long exposure.
How would I capture the milky way behind it with > 1 min exposure, but not blow out the scene with source of light from the lighthouse?
Would it make more sense to take shorter MW exposures in this scenario?
I plan on using a tracker.
Over the weekend I did a workshop with David Magro. Unfortunately we had a cloudy night, so I went back the folk night and got this.
This was looking towards Melbourne, so lots of light pollution. And I probably need to turn it down a bit.
But for my first go, and first go editing, I'm still pretty happy.

My last trip to Utah was a bit of an experiment. New gear, new techniques, new results. Tracked panoramas with combined RGB & Ha data have been a learning curve. I missed some setting on the far right Ha panel so had to scrap that, but was able to salvage the Cygnus Ha signal. That gold haze from this area was very prominent in all shots from the Valley.
This was my first time shooting with the Canon R5 and I definitely need to stack more frames with that high resolution. This pano came out somewhat as imagined but I’ll be going after some more arches this month with a little more experience and corrected settings.

I had the idea to combine my skills in macro photography and astrophotography. Love to know what you think.
