Wide field astrophotography

Nice shots Anders; it's easy to see how much of a difference a clear, relatively unpolluted sky can make.

Wow! amazing ... i like your photos, i checked your photos in flickr, my favorite shot is "Sykkelen og sekken" ! have you done any editing on them?

Yup. In all nightscapes I have adjusted stuff in adobe raw, curves, maybe cropped a bit, reduced noise and sharpened. Sharpening really made a difference with regard to the stars! I'm not a pro in editing such shots, though, just did what felt natural and what I've learned in experience from editing "normal" day shots.
