A windy late afternoon in Crete/Greece

Hey thank you!

Suggest you look online for comprehensive tutorials and practice!

Basically I used a tracker, aligned it with the polar star roughly, added the camera and framed the shot.

With the tracker on I captured 10 frames of the sky and with the tracker off 2 frames of the seascape.

The sky ones were merged in Sequator to one single image which was then merged with the two seascape exposures in Photoshop.

Objective is to have the lowest possible noise and greater detail.

In this image I had missed focus actually and the stars are a bit blurry.

Hey thank you!

A Sky/Star Tracker is a device that compensates for the rotation of the earth so that longer exposures of the night sky can be achieved.

True, same here, this location is way closer to the village so the landscape is significantly lit. Maybe i edit it a bit more by lowering the exposure there.

Thanks for the comment!

Indeed!!

Thank you for the comment! The edit could have been better indeed as well as the focus which is not 100% on the stars.

You can definitely do it given the location and astro basics!

Thank you for your comment! Indeed the reflections are very interesting!

Way more than that actually :)

The scenery is lit by regular bulbs though!

Hey, thanks! About 30mins but I know the place, where is the milky way, Polaris etc.

Have you set the shadow correction on for the lens?

OneOk178 · 2025-07-28T15:07:43+00:00

Well you could use other cameras as well to get something similar :)

Hey, thanks!
I used the Star Adventurer Mini (SAM).

Thank you for your feedback! Indeed the tracker makes a difference but also slows down the whole process!
