This is a stack of 5 x 8-second exposures for the ground (mean combined to smooth noise) plus a single 8-second exposure for the sky, untracked, all at f/2.5 with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 800.

Note the glitter path of Mars in the water. Satellites streak across the star trails. This is a stack of 90 images for the sky, including one for the first frame layered in separately, plus a stack of 8 images from the start of the sequence for the ground, mean combined to smooth noise. All are 25-second exposures at f/2.2 with the 35mm lens and Canon 6D at ISO 3200. Stacked with Advanced Stacker Plus actions on Photoshop using Long Streaks.
