Milky Way time-lapse last night. Red flashes are caused by my headlamp. Jupiter on left, Orion on right. The unmoving PoleStar is in the top left corner.

Settings for this timelapse: Focal length: 14mm Shutter ~300 shots of 20 s: long enough to gather a lot of light with each exposure, but short enough to keep the stars from trailing at 14mm Aperture f/1.8: wide open to maximise light per frame ISO 640: low enough to preserve highlights in the sky glow (I could have gone with 800 or 1000 here too) The idea with settings like this is: Use as much of the available light as possible with aperture + exposure time Then adjust ISO to get a good exposure, slightly on the darker side, in case conditions change later in the timelapse Practically, that means keeping the main body of the histogram a bit to the left rather than pushing it to the right. If you want to get better at shooting Milky Way nightscape photos like the ones behind my timelapses, I put my full stills workflow into a free Milky Way Nightscape Blueprint (guide + checklist + practice RAWs + 7-day walkthrough). You can grab it from the first link in my bio. #natgeoyourshot

Timelapse of the Milky Way and Moon rising over the horizon. Watching the night sky move in real time is surreal, but the number of satellites streaking across the stars is striking. Space is getting crowded. #MilkyWay #Timelapse #Astrophotography

And shitty timelapse #2. If I didn't wait until the night was already like 75% over before starting, this one could have actually been good. #astrophotography #photography #timelapse #landscapephotography

The milkyway was "Up All Night" at @fowkes_farm. This beautiful startrail was captured using my Samsung S22 Ultra using the Deep Sky Camera App. A total of 900 x 15 second exposures at ISO3200 stacked using the Timelab app. #kinglake #milkyway #samsung #timelapse #Astrophotography

The Lone Tree Under a Night Sky. This is an oldie but it was a spectacular night. The timelapse was taken over several hours and I think around 800 images. I’ll have to try it again soon. #nightsky #timelapse #stars #astrophotography #darkskieswales
