Skyscape

How's this for a landscape then?
I remember we had a couple of night skies here not long ago, so here's mine. Not excatly fresh, but hey, it's been cloudy a lot.



Stacked from four or five frames about two minutes each and dark frames substracted. Shot with a tracking tripod.

Tell me what you think!

It doesn't even look real! Something straight out of a sci-fi movie.

Excellent job capturing all of those stars. You never expect to see mundane, earthly things like trees when you see photos of the galaxy like that.

Is the light pollution from a town over the horizon? Or something else entirely? Just curious.

Wowie.

Thanks!

It's light pollution from a nearby brightly lit compound and Kirkkonummi town center further away. There was a thin cloud over the horizon from which the yellow light is being scattered, increasing the contrast to the clear sky.

And the red patches at the top are a feature of the 300D, there's something in those corners that warm up the sensor and cause the red glow to show up with long exposures.
