Astrophotography Feedback

[fiery cave]

Can I also get feedback on this?

[dreamy geyser]

there is too much star reduction, I can see where you've made a starless layer and just added the stars back in, not so much that its a problem but more that it looks unnatural, you can try different blending modes to have a more natural look, and looking at m24 in the pic it looks very low detail, perhaps its been really denoised or something im not sure, or maybe you were shooting through clouds but it looks very smudgey. your color is fine though and your framing is nice

[fiery cave]

prob smudgey to my lack of automatic dithering, fucked the pixels or something idk

thanks for the feedback

Theres a lot of weird color here, the background could use some work (its too blue) and also the antares nebula is way too green, try and go back for the yellows-oranges. It overall feels a bit undersaturated and you're completely missing the red h-alpha color around alniyat

[dreamy geyser]

you clipped the blacks

i think 24mm is fine for milky way photography but as far as your editing goes you made it way too black, I see this a lot in astrophotos, either this is a direct result from applying too much contrast or doing something like dragging the blackpoint slider bar too far in whichever direction

[dreamy geyser]

this looks like a phone pic, theres a big gradient in the center and a weird aberration going through the middle

might wanna fix that

it is a phone pic

[dreamy geyser]

yeah i highly suggest you do astrophotography with a dslr for your level

[dreamy geyser]

Dithering wouldnt cause that its just the actual quality vs the stars

[fiery cave]

im working on a re edit rn

[kind pecan]

I don’t have on yet so i am pulling some things out of my phone

[dreamy geyser]

okay

Star trails...? I have another one with a building

[dreamy geyser]

its a little hard to see cause of the resolution but it looks like theres a good bit of color noise, I see green and red pixels everywhere. the upper right and upper left parts of the image have just a little too much contrast

[dreamy geyser]

this is pretty good, your sky color is great, if you could try and saturate those trails, ive seen a lot of people dig out a good bit of color from their star trail images and it looks pretty, there's some vignetting but that's not necessarily an issue, love the picture though otherwise

[dreamy geyser]

much better

Hello, can i get some feedback for this 😊

[fiery cave]

Too blue tbh

You should be targetting a warmer tone

[granite carbon]

Thanks 😊 i edit it tomorrow again 😊

[dreamy geyser]

Looks great I love how wide the angle is, you really got a lot of the milky way, but like kronos said i think its way too blue, you could probably just fix that with a simple color balance adjustment

I’m kinda like 10 months late but B L U E

Post your astrophotos here and I'll give you advice on ways I think the image(s) could improve. The advice I will give is not to shun or insult your photos, rather it is solely to help you improve and offer constructive criticism.

(responses may be delayed)

Can I get some feedback on this terrible image? Thanks

This was my first attempt at astrophotography. I read you should try and get an object in the foreground but couldn't get it all to fit. How wide a lens would I need to be able to get both? Or would I need to be in a really flat, open place? I shot this with a 24mm
