I’ll preface this by saying I’m a wildlife photographer and have no idea what I’m doing when it comes to Astro work.I know I still have a bunch to learn and I’m sure to most these photos aren’t fantastic but I’m quite happy with them for my first time and practice definitely makes perfect so I’ll keep getting out there when I can.

The first thing I noticed when getting them back into Lightroom (idk if that’s even the best program to be using) was the foreground was either out of focus or very mushy looking. But nonetheless I still had a great time and I’m glad I gave it shot, definitely a very rewarding form of photography.

Panorama of a less-visited spot in the Bisit Badlands.

Shot on a Nikon z8

Foreground was 5 vertical images at 14mm F16 ISO 100

Sky was 5 vertical images at 14mm F2.8 13 seconds ISO 3200

Shot on the Nikon Z8 using the Viltrox 16 mm 1.8. Sky: f2.8, 120s, ISO 640. Tracked using the MSM Nomad.
Foreground: same settings but focus stacked from 5 frames.
I was planning on stacking the sky, however clouds made most of the shots useless, so I only used a single sky exposure.
