ALT Technical: This is a blend of exposures to capture the wide dynamic range of the scene: - A single 30-second exposure at f/5.6 for the dark ground - A single 2-second exposure at f/4 for the bright sky - plus another 2-second shot through a Maven Starwalker filter to add the slight glows to the planets to make them stand out. - plus another 2-second shot through a Tiffen Starpoint filter for a starburst diffraction effect to have as an option, which I blended in here for artistic effect. All with the Nikon Z8 camera at ISO 100 and Nikkor S-line 24-120mm lens at 27mm, with the camera on an MSM Nomad tracker, with the tracker on for the sky images (to prevent trailing and to allow easier alignment of the filtered and non-filtered images), but with the tracker off for the ground images.
