I took this pic a couple of nights ago – one of the few clear nights we’ve had so took the opportunity to do some stargazing. Shot near Christchurch, New Zealand where even 20 mins out of the city we have reasonably dark skies.
All shot on a Sony A7iii with a Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 lens. Sky was a stitch of 12 different images across the sky each taken at 28mm, f/2.8, ISO800, 120s exposures (tracked on an iOptron Skyguider pro to counter the earth’s rotation).
Foreground was 2 shots at 120s, f/2.8, ISO800 with no tracking (so the ground isn’t blurred)
Quick answers to questions – no, you can’t see this with the naked eye – you’ll see about half the stars with structure of the MW, but no colour. Yes, you can do this yourself if you have a decent camera with a tripod – check out [Lonely Speck’s Astrophotography 101 post](https://www.lonelyspeck.com/astrophotography-101/)
