A couple of shots from consecutive nights, the zuidertoren on the West Frisian island of schiermonnikoog.
I was facing North and it was 3rd week of the month so Milky Way is not as bright as it could be and no core as I had to shoot in a narrow window between the end of twilight (11.30ish) and the moon rising at 00.30.
Struggled with my stacked images because of the complexity of the shot and the bluring of the foreground sticking out too much.So each was a single exposure blended with the foreground image.
Both shot on an EOS R5 with Laowa 12mm F2.8 @ 2.8, exposures circa 2 minutes ISO 1600. Foreground 5 mins ISO 400 (IIRC!)
Also dealing with the other (working) lighthouse was hard on the long esposures. Anyway, I think they've come out ok.
