Orion Nebula region with NGC1973-7. Stack of two 10-minute exposures + stack of 30s and 1min exposure for retaining bright core deail. Blended with Normal @ 85% but erasing all of short exposure layer except for core.

The well-publicized - if not overly publicized! - supermoon (a perigee Full Moon) of November 14, 2016, seen here about 3 degrees above the horizon, rising out of low clouds. The yellow colour is natural, and illuminated the field with a golden glow. However, this is a stack of 4 exposures, from long to short, to create an “HDR” style stack as the longest exposure needed for the clouds blew out the bright Moon. A short exposure was needed for the Moon itself. I took 4 exposures at about 2 stop increments from 1.5 seconds to 1/15 second and blended them not with HDR software but with luminosity

A demo image with the Orion 80mm CF Apo and Celestron AVX mount, with 3 x 8 minute and 3 x 6 minutes, at ISO 1600 with Canon 6D MkII plus shorter 3 x 2 minute and 3 x 1 minute exposures blended in with luminosity masks. Guided with the Orion Starshoot and Orion finderscope, using PHD2, with a lot of wild excursions in the guiding.

This is a panorama of Peyto Lake in Banff National Park, on the Icefields Parkway in Alberta, taken at moonrise on a very clear and mild mid-October evening. The glacier-fed lake appears its characteristic blue even when lit by starlight. It is not blended in from an earlier "blue hour" shot.

The Geminid meteor shower of 2022,showing two bright Geminids leaving yellowish ion trails or "smoke" trains in their wake. The two meteors appeared about 45 minutes apart but are blended together here.

The total lunar eclipse of April 4, 2015 at dawn over the Tear Drop Arch Mesa at Monument Valley, Utah. This is a blend of three exposures: a 44-second shot at f/3.5 and ISO 800 for the sky (with the camera on the Star Adventurer tracker to track the sky for the sharp stars) and an identical exposure with the tracker motor off (for the sharp foreground), plus a short 1-second exposure for the eclipsed Moon blended with its over exposed image. All frames with the 16-35mm lens at 26mm and with the Canon 60Da. Frames shot at ~6:07 am. MDT, about 4 minutes after totality as the sky and landscape w
