Basic Milky Way single shot image editing in just a few Lightroom adjustments

Post-processing a Milky Way image can seem quite intimidating. In this video I take a single Nikon Z6ii image and bring out contrast, detail and colour in the Milky Way with just a few relatively simple adjustments.
Night sky images don't have to be really complicated, as I demonstrate in this twenty-minute tutorial. Everything in this tutorial is processed within one single image in Adobe Lightroom, without using any other post-processing software such as Starry Landscape Stacker or Adobe Photoshop.
Night-scapes and PHOTOGRAPHY and LANDSCAPES and SUNSETS are what gets the blood coursing through my veins. If you love landscape photography and wish to find out more about how I turn my favourite locations into images that I treasure, then you're in the right place. I shoot with a Nikon camera and mostly Nikkor / Nikon lenses. I also use the Move Shoot Move star Tracker for crispy clear night skies.

Greatly enjoyed the video. New to astro and lightroom. Is is possible to get one of you time lapse raw unedited images to follow along with your video as a practice imgage? Thanks
