No they are not single shots. Exposure for sky using tracker and exposure for the foreground without tracker and a lot of photoshop work. Correct me if I am wrong Eric.

TRhoads Cream of the Crop More info | Jul 27, 2017 06:01 | #3769 Probably my favorite MW image to date, partially due to the planning that went into it, and the time it took to finally be able to hit the shutter button to take the image.  Milky Way Over Sparks Lane by Travis Rhoads, on FlickrTwo images, one for the sky at 20 Seconds, ISO 3200 f/2.8, and one for the foreground at 2 minutes, ISO 1600 F/2.8. Website

This is correct, I set up the tracking mount/tripod and take my sky exposures with the mount on, then turn the mount off and take the foreground exposures. I blend the two later on in post processing, trees are a real PITA in the tracked sky shots, it's hard to mask the blurry trees behind the corresponding sharp trees in the foreground.

Could you not use content aware fill on the background?

pdxbenedetti Senior Member More info | Jul 28, 2017 19:08 | #3776 I haven't had much success with the content aware fill, more often than not it fills in the blurred trees with sky that doesn't match well with the local background sky and just looks funny when the sky is mask/blended with the sharp foreground shot. I've had more lucky with slightly scaling the sky once the blurry trees are aligned with the sharp trees, then warping a little more, then clone stamping out the remaining blurry edges that are visible. It's an insanely tedious process no matter what.

Jul 29, 2017 13:06 | #3780 Wasn't really setup for astro on my vacation to the beach, but we had a break in the clouds as they kept rolling in and it was spectacular to the naked eye so I had to rush to get this one. I think it turned out pretty decent given the ambient light of the houses and pier lights. Single 30sec shot.  Milkyway 2017 by Matt, on Flickr
