Amazing capture. A bit surprised to see it and the Milky Way so clearly in such a light sky, and wonder how it might look if the sky were darkened a little in PP?
Whatever, it really is a great piece of astro photography. |

Excellent, Simon!
I'm in Yucca Valley, CA. Saw many meteors in last night's meteor shower. Unfortunately, I don't have my camera with me! I bet your capture required a lot of patience. Well done! I like the trees in the foreground -- very nice composition. I'd like to learn to capture the milky way some day. I'll give it a try on my next visit here over in Joshua Tree National Park which is not far from Yucca Valley. Kelly |

Thanks all.
@Jozioau, the light in the frame is the glow of the small villages below in the valley, but being up high, the light pollution peters out to then get very clear view of the stars. @Kelly, milkyway pics are surprisingly easy, I'd just maths at the end of the day. The tricky part is the planning - finding clear night, in area with low light pollution and ideally with little / no moon (depending how much light you want on the foreground. PhotoPills app is very good for finding and forecasting path of milky way in the sky and also getting shutter speed right for star spots (the old '500 rule' doesn't really work for today's high resolution cameras). |

Last night I took my chance with attempting photograph The Milky Way and Perseids, but 1) I didn't stay up too long and was in the bed already around 1 AM, 2) I definately should practice astro photography more (but obviously there isn't suitable conditions that often). Here are perhaps the best attempts...
1. Too many lights on the other side of Lake Saimaa if you ask me...  α7R IV + Sony FE 1.8/14 GM @ 14 mm, f/2.5, 15 s, ISO 1600 (+ some cropping) 2. And too many trees on shore on my side  α7R IV + Sony FE 1.8/14 GM @ 14 mm, f/2.5, 20 s, ISO 1600 (+ some cropping) |

Mmm, in my humble opinion they look less sharp than I might expect from you, or are it my eyes
 or screen?
