Went out looking to photograph the Kp6/7 level aurora which was forecast last night- didn't get it- believe it may have lit up a very little about an hour after I'd headed home. I'd gone to a beach in East Lothian and was lucky enough to have clear skies and some interset with the Bass rock and cliffs with the lights of Kircaldy adn Edinburgh providing a backlight. Tracker was in car so I took 50 6" images at 20mm 2.8 ISO 3200. I had the Z7 and D850 with me so sensor wise the same and there was a bit of trailing on the stars at more than 6" exposure. I stacked them in Sequator. Little bit of levels, contrast and brightness and got this.
I'm keen to get more into Astro landscapes but the weather isn't often kind to us here in Scotland
I'd be keen on any advice on either pushing the imaging ot post processing for next time.
EDIT- I mean I had left the tracker in the car or these would have been 30"+ images
