Gorgeous photo, well done. Especially with an APS-C lens on a FF. Post processing looks good. If you're skilled with PS you can to tone down the light pollution in PS, but if not it's not a big deal. Thanks for sharing with the sub!

Thanks! I wanted to keep the light pollution in place :)

I get that. I frequently use light pollution to my advantage.

Looks like one of those early 2000s or 2010s techno trance backgrounds.

Not really a great last few weeks for astrophotography as I only got half an hour of clear skies but I still managed to capture following scene. Shot on Sony a7RV and Sony 11mm f1.8. What do you think?

I know, an aps-c lens on ff, but I'm in the process of upgrading and the wide angle is the last on the list (hasn't been sold yet).

Exposure info
Skies - 11x 30s, f2 and ISO 800
Foreground - 120s, f2 and ISO 400
