There's about 30 x 22 sec lights for the sky, pasted over a 2,5 min single shot of the foreground.

Shot with a stock Sony a6000 and a Samyang 12mm f2.0, untracked, under Bortle 3 skies.

Stacking was done in Siril and the rest in Photoshop.

Feedback appreciated!

This is... amazing! Pardon my ignorance, but would it look similar to someone there looking at the sky or is the long exposition time critical to get the majority of that detail?

Thank you so much! I could see lots of details with my eyes, it's a properly dark spot there! You can't see any of the colors, but you see the shapes in the nebulosity pretty clearly.
