Clear night filter and learning to edit the colours. Just which is better I tend to like the grey blue rather than the Rusty red from 2014 Auto WB. For those interested this a two shot horizontal vertical panorama you can see just how much the light pollution has moved since 2014

I prefer this one, Steve, although I have to say that both are amazing.

Thank you Amelia you can see the huge difference in colour me I see the night sky as black but know it totally not true. I think the grey blue "looks" more natural as a sky background a whole new learning curve with the clear night filter. they are totally not hard to do the hardest photo is the first to have a go.

Even Herb has had a go and produced some stunning shot its just a case of a few simple principles and having a go. Many thanks been great to look at some of the older photos.

(Copy of my comment on next page) - Its all a matter of taste Steve. Would have been easier to say if these picture were taken at the same shoot and the same focal length but they clearly are not. I like them both in their own ways but in the end the truer dark sky of 2020 wins out. After all if you were out in the space station looking towards the Milky-Way you would not see the obvious light pollution of your city or earths skies? - Nice conundrum!

Cheers Herb

The interesting thing is they are the exact same 14mm and same camera just set up differently. to be honest I did not even know how to stitch a night photo but could do day shot easily so never thought to add the second shot on top or how.

2014 shows my early start and shot times 31.5 sec stars trail but 2020 20sec pin points you see all that time spent in learning. its true you never stop learning. Many thanks for your thoughts.
