Lovely! I started astro-photography last year and recently surprised myself with an image of the Southern Cross (Crux) - below. I shot it on my Nikon D850 with my 24-120mm Nikkor f4 lens at about 70mm. It was my first attempt with Alyn Wallaces' "Star Glow Filter" in my NiSi filter holder. This filter enhances the larger stars (i.e emphasising constellations) and removes many of the smaller stars. (I find this amazing when you look at the image and realise the smaller stars have been removed!). The 2 brightest stars at the bottom are the "pointers" Alpha and Beta Centauri, pointing to the Southern Cross (Crux), with the dark area at the bottom of the Crux being the Coal Sack Nebula . All are seen against the Milkyway. 10 images combined in Starry Landscape Stacker. 13sec, f4, ISO 1,600. To ensure the star colours are captured care must be taken in setting the whites in ACR (ie not blown).
