You can actually get start trails in light polluted places, just looks a bit different obviously. Check out Alyn Wallace's tutorial, he does it in his back yard. This was a collection of about 200 exposures over the course of 2 hours. I had to blend the foreground and sky layer separately.

Thanks! It took me a few tries at it :)

Thanks Bill 🙏

I do love seeing those mountains in full view

So you like the blue hour one as well?

In this case I timed it with the moonrise behind the Arch

If you're talking about what I think, they're either clouds getting lit up by the moonrise behind the arch or "air glow". I'm not really sure :)

It was cloudy in Moab :( did you have to stack another image to get those few stars or were they just there naturally?

I can't remember exactly for this one but I usually use the NPF rule or rule of 300 to get close. All my lenses are f/1.8 or wider which helps a lot lol

Great shot, how often did you have to move your camera? And is this cropped in or the natural framing at 135mm?

Good shot! That foreground is so interesting, what are those??

Thanks man! Just biding my time until milkyway season 🌌

Absolutely amazing! Can't wait for the Europa clipper

I'm into that 👍
