These are very hard photos to capture. You did a very good job. I took your photo into LR and went to the Transform tab and hit auto. The resulting photo is attached.
On the topic of cameras I find the OM1 Mark2 with "Starry Sky" autofocus is a game changer for these kind of images. The camera does everything to produce a clean - less noise - sharp image.
Once again I wish I were there with you on this photo shoot!   Posted: 06/06/2025 07:45:47

Really amazing Rizwan, I have never been able to get a good photo of a starry night! Great job. I do find the city lights a bit distracting but if you crop it out then the composition would be too dark.   Posted: 06/13/2025 17:31:08
