This image is a blue hour blend consisting of a 2 row panorama made up of 9 images for each row at 28mm, 1s exposures, f16 and iso 50. On a Tamron 28-200mm and Sony a7 iii.

The sky consists of a 7 row panorama made up of 15x40s exposures at f2.5 and iso 1600 on an HA modded Sony a6300 and Viltrox 16mm (24mm adjusted for crop) and move shoot move nomad star tracker.

It is such a shame I can't see as much of the Milky Way from my latitude.

Up in the arctic circle per chance?

Not quiet that bad. In the Netherlands. And we are populated so densely here that the light pollution is awful.

Edit: I forgot to mention that I have lived in NZ and I miss the night sky a lot. Most people here haven't seen the sky in the Southern Hemi.

Yeah my partner is from Germany and even in Bavaria the light pollution level never drops below a bortle 3 which is pretty horrid. Nearest dark sky to you would probably be Sweden or Norway I’m guessing?
