Well done - nice merge with the foreground.
I have tried the Astrotracer as its built in to my K3ii, but I eventually made myself a checklist as I kept forgetting some vital setting. When you do get it working, it's great.

Great stuff.
I feel a tutorial coming on. What lenses and processing and planning for shot etc?

Beautiful pictures. The astrotracer has me torn... do I get one for my current camera (K-70) or do I look to sell and buy a used K-1?! I'm tending towards the former.

Somewhere warm and sunny
Having the ability to record a single exposure of 120 seconds at ISO as low as 800 and the ability to stop your lens down to its sweet spot, this was f5.6 and all at 24mm is simple staggering. Then to end up with an image as sharp as this
Admittedly to get the foreground sharp a second image is required using the same settings and simply merged in post.
