I took these 30 seconds long exposure shots of the night sky in Lithuania (Sodyba - Vytauto kaimas) and was surprised by this beauty (I believe the streaks in the first image might be from moving satellites?)! Last photo was a shot failed successfully lol.

Shots taken by an iPhone 14 Pro Max.

Stick ya head out ya window quick if you want to see them, they are on their way down to the horizon.

Caught this rare crescent moon glowing deep orange just above the horizon. The reflections and light trails made the whole scene feel surreal

This rectangle appears to be back lit, but the moon isn’t behind it. It moved very slowly in the sky in no regular direction, just hovered and moved side to side a bit

My first galactic core image had to be in Tuscany✨

The illuminated Cappella della Vitaleta beneath a fiery sky, with the heart of the Milky Way dominating the Val d’Orcia.

Shot with Canon 6D astromod + Canon R | Canon 50mm f/1.8 | tracked with nomad

Sky 15x120” ISO 800 f2.8

Land 6 shots bracketing

Ha 12x120” ISO 3200 f2.8

After what felt like a whole summer, the skies finally cleared during recent night with no moon. Plan was to escape the city glow and shoot a Milkyway panorama in which I partially succeeded as light pollution from the city still took over the centre of the frame.
