I missed the may event but I drove 2 hours to capture this one.

This is a 2 layer composite taken with a d800e. Sigma 14-24mm art. The foreground was light painted with a flash light.

Foreground: 30sec F/4 ISO 800

Background: 15sec F/4 ISO 6400

Shot on a Sony a6400 + Sigma 10-18mm f/2.8. The foreground is a 30s exposure with unexpected (but absolutely welcome!) lighting provided by another hiker. The background sky is a stack of 25 10s-long exposures. Everything was shot at 10mm, f/2.8.

I originally wanted to get a shot to use for a blue hour blend for the aurora photos I planned to take after the sky was fully dark, so Einhyrningur (‘unicorn’ in Icelandic) and the foreground wouldn’t be completely silhouetted. Since there was a bit less light than I wanted, I did a long exposure, which revealed the aurora and stars that couldn’t yet be seen with the naked eye, while also bringing out the fading post-sunset colors in the west. Decided to make it a pano once I saw the results. Definitely my favorite shot from my Iceland trip!

Believe it or not, I didn’t increase the saturation here, just made highlight/shadow/contrast adjustments in Lightroom.

A few years ago I took this moonlit photo of Jackie around Halloween which is still one of my favorite night portrait photos I’ve taken. While I took several photos of Jackie facing the camera I really like the mystery of this one with her back turned. The moonlit mist rising from the pond was a big surprise and made the photo so much better. We were both getting creeped out by it as it was so surreal with the full moon lighting up the mist. It was a memorable night for both of us for sure! At one point though I was beginning to wonder if she really was the Moon Witch…

Getting down low for a shot of the rare Haleakala silversword. Taken sometime after midnight at Haleakala National Park, Maui.

I’m looking as the title above states some beginner tutorials for Siril, I’m a Mac user so Sequator isn’t a great option since my external drives are formatted to Mac and Sequator is purely a windows based software!

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice on focusing when shooting astrophotography landscapes. I’m a professional portrait and elopement photographer so I’m comfortable with all aspects of cameras as well as photoshop/ Lightroom etc, but newer in the past couple years to astrophotography since relocating back up to the northern ish part of Canada.

I am using mainly my Canon 5D Mark IV with just a 24-105 kit lens for astrophotography since I like to go wide and capture landscapes, but I find even focusing to infinity my results are often a bit soft in focus, I’ve recently learned more about stacking images rather than just using one image for a final shot and stacking foreground and backgrounds separately but I’m not confident that would solve soft focus. I have also tried the Canon Connect remote shooting app but especially in the winter it’s too hard to keep taking my gloves off and makes it so I can’t use my phone, and I still find the focus isn’t right.

Anyway any advice would be great! For reference this image is from the northern lights back in May and it’s a single image not a series of stacked images.
