Brilliant photos, can't decide between signal box #1 or #2 though

Top marks for skill, perseverance and outcomes! I wouldn’t know where to start to take photos like these.

Do you actually see any daylight?

I suspect that were 'Spad' to do so, in common with the rest of his kind, even a brief exposure would have dire, and possibly terminal, consequences

Last night I left the DIRTY word camera's at home, and grabbed my camera bag with all my Pentax kit in it.
Kit used - K3, Sigma EX DC HSM 10-20mm f3.5, iOptron SkyTracker Pro, a tripod, ballast, a lens heater, and big powerbank powering them all!
These are composites. The Milkway image was shot with the camera pointing pretty much straight up! I couldn't really shoot towards the horizon because of light pollution. Next I took several foreground images. The Milkway image is a stack of 80 images, then stretched in Siril and PP'd in PS and TopazAI DeNoise/Sharpen. Image 3 is the most realistic one. The other two have a bit of artistic interpretation!
Oh by the way.... the red nebula at the top of the images, that's the North American Nebula, and the star just down to the right is Deneb!
