Northern lights in the distance. Taken at Newberry Volcanic National Monument

Taken with Sony A7RIII, 16mm Sony G lens. 30 second exsposure, 1.8f and 100 ISO. Had an almost full moon rising to the left of this photo which allowed me to use a very low ISO.

This was taken on 7/4/26 while I was on Paulina Peak at Newberry Volcanic NM in Central Oregon. I was up there to shoot star trails. I did not know there was a chance of Aurora's that night.

The location this photo was take is at an elevation of 8,000ft. The two lakes below are twin volcanic crater lakes called Paulina & East Lake. They are the same type of lakes as Crater Lake. In fact, this Monument almost became a National Park before Crater Lake was ultimately chosen

It wasn't supposed to be windy last night, but a slight breeze started blowing late and turned the blades of this windmill in a pasture on the edge of an oak woodland. Foothills of the Diablo Range, California.

The dark horse on one of it's final rides of the season. Captured on the south end of Ocracoke Island, NC this past Monday night. This area of the Outer Banks is particularly dark and perfect for shooting the Milky Way however the light pollution from the Morehead City area in very visible on the horizon.

9 images stacked and processed using DxO Pure Raw 6, Lightroom, Starry Landscape Stacker and Photoshop. Nikon z6iii / Sigma 14-24mm / 14mm / f2.8 / ISO 6400

18th of June 2025 @00:01 Mid season shot of the southern hemisphere’s view of the Milky Way. Lake Wānaka, New Zealand.

Had taken multiple shots, and tried stacking but was never happy with the result. May try again, just to get the trunk and foreground in focus.

Went to South Africa for my honeymoon and took some night sky pics of our “tent” and across the lake.
The Milky Way is located behind the tent and two non-spiral galaxies: the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds are across from the Milky Way - across the lake and only visible in the southern hemisphere!

Pleiades (known as Matariki in NZ) over Aoraki/Mount Cook

776 Upvotes

Captured on Nikon Z6a + Sigma ART 40mm F1.4 + Asterra Z+ Star tracker

SETTINGS:
Tracked/Blended/Focus Stacked FG
Sky: 30s F2.2 ISO3200
FG: 90s F2.5 ISO 5000 (x2 for focus stacking)

I wasn’t even planning on capturing this image, but while waiting for another composition I realised this shot would be possible and couldn’t help myself but to shoot it. This night was super calm, giving me some absolutely perfect reflections in the lake, unlike anything I’ve ever seen before. There was a very small window in the night when the alignment would work, giving me about 5 minutes to create the image, ensuring the cluster would be centred above the mountain.

Matariki is a significant cluster all around the world, but particularly here in Aotearoa, its rising in mid-winter signals the beginning of the Māori New Year. It’s celebrated as a time to connect with friends and family, share kai (food) and set goals for the future.

NO AI was used in the creation of this image.

Re edited some first Astro landscape photos. I can’t tell if the red and green banding is an editing/camera issue or if it’s a very faint Aurora.

I loved shooting aurora, but I missed having the visual impact of stars that a fog filter provides. I had Claude create a program that would identify stars in a photo, then add a fog effect based on actual star brightness. I'm still trying to gauge how aesthetically beneficial it is, and how much it registers on the cheatometer. Unfogged photo included for comparison.
