Nice work on those. Is this a commercial project or just a personal one?
Also I'm curious about where in the images you stitched the Brenzier method shots, these seem very tightly composed for that technique. Interesting approach!

Beautiful photo!

I shot this last night after skiing to a more interesting location but getting clouded out (and very cold while waiting). I aborted my mission and was heading home when the moon finally appeared so I stopped and shot this from the side of the road.

Last Saturday I went on a trip about 3 hours from Paris and away from Light pollution especially.
Very quiet place, about 1000m altitude and the weather was great, no clouds, not much haze and no Moon either.
The Galactic center was visible only for 90 mins, not really high in the sky but I wanted to try it anyway.
I've been using Photopills app to help me prepare my night, it is an invaluable tool for photography in general but of course especially for AstroPhotography.
The Night A.R is indeed very useful, I could easily pick up a location in the afternoon and be sure the MW would be in my shot where I wanted to be.
I placed the branch in the shot, it was lying there waiting for a photo I guess :D
I took about 80 shots, on and off Astrotracer, from ISO 800 to ISO 3200 and from 20sec to 80 seconds.
Lens is the IRIX 15mm /f2.4.
I tried some light painting but I was not confortable with it, so in the end I used a foreground shot illuminated by a car passing by.
If you look carefully you will see headlight and tailights from cars around, and also some dude playing around with a red helmet light or something like that.
As far as PP, I struggle a lot to be honest. I've been watching tutorial but I think my initial shots were not that great, not enough light IMHO. Also my sensor is suffering the white dot issue so I can't go past a certain limit of exposure time.
At the same time I think I didnt really master the astrotracer function, couldnt calibrate despite many efforts, far away from tripod, rocks etc. I tried at least 6 or 7 different calibration but was disapointed each time. I've read the PF tutorial a lot before actually trying the calibration.
So in the end Im using 3 shots for this composite :
Foreground is 30 sec exposure at /f2.8, ISO2000 astrotracer OFF.
MW is is 30 sec exposure at /f2.8, ISO2000, astrotracer ON.
Headlights and redlights is 20 sec exposure at /f2.8, ISO1600, astrotracer OFF.
PP using Lightroom and composite made with ON1 2018.
It has been a marvelous night, I was not alone and we drink some nice Rhum after the Galactic center disappeared :lol:

Milky-way from the top of the Edelweisspitze, 2572m above sea level, Grossglockner area,, Austrian Alps. Good darkness allowing to easily see the milkyway with bare yes. Tricky weather conditions with clouds moving around, eventually clearing at times. Captured at 0:25 a.m with DFA15-30 at about 20mm f/2 and K1 in bulb mode with astro-tracer triggered with IR remote + 3s delay, 120s exposure at iso 1600, out of camera JPEG with slight increase of image contrast.

It is what sas says. If you don't do any post processing, then the benefit is small to say the least. If, on the other hand, you typically push shadows and attempt to maximize a single image with post processing, then you will see a fair amount of improvement with pixel shift.
