Hello i am trying to stitch a startrails panorama but photoshop doesnt seem to be able to do the job. i tried everything but it doesnt work and because of the lens distortion i can not blend it by myself just by laying them over another and use masks. Does anyone know what to do? Ill send both the photos i try to blend in a second. The error is that there is not enough space to blend but in the foreground at the bottom you can see there is
Thank you
i even have a third one on the left but ill try to get these two managed first

I think it will be hard for photoshop as these aren't your usual landscape images. PS relies on some sort of recognition algorithmn, and I guess it doesn't know where to lookk at.
What's stopping you from doing it by hand, apart from the lens correction? Did you try to correct the lens distortion first?
You can use either Camera Raw or Photoshop proper for that...
You can also use Photoshop directly, although the filters are less straightforward than in ACR.

I did lens correction in LR before importing in PS but it didn’t work

I all honesty, I think the only way is the manual way.
I have a few tricks to alin things.
For example when you got two layers, and you put the top layer in "difference" mode, a perfect alignment will result in a complately black image
see my screenshots,
1- not aligned
2- Aligned
So what you can try is to roughly, as best as you can, align the edge bits (overlapping) and then transform (rotate, scale, warp... whatever you have to do) and add the next layer, and rinse and repeat. The way we did before all these marvelous (and yet limited ) features were available.

Okay thank you
i just found a way to align the photos I think. I used the Programm Hugin to put the photos on a virtual sphere, than overlay it and than export the single files as 2d projections. I imported them in PS and used masking make the transition smooth
This is the result with a more neutral WB and some more corrections

Good call, I didn't know this software. That's a good result you have from a fairly complex set of images!
