A Step-by-Step Lightroom Workflow for Editing Milky Way and Night Sky Photos

This astrophotography editing course is designed to help you turn flat RAW night sky images into polished photographs using a clear, repeatable Lightroom workflow.

Editing is where astrophotography images truly come to life. The camera captures the light from the night sky, but thoughtful post-processing is what reveals the depth, color, and detail hidden within your images.

In this course, I’ll walk you through my complete Lightroom editing workflow for astrophotography. You’ll learn how to shape exposure, refine color, reduce noise, and enhance the Milky Way while maintaining the natural beauty of the night sky.

Instead of guessing at sliders or relying on extreme edits, you’ll follow a step-by-step process that builds the image in layers and gives you a workflow you can confidently apply to your own astrophotography images.

About Your Instructor

Hi, I’m Justin, the photographer behind TEN SIX Photography.

Over the years I’ve spent countless nights photographing landscapes under dark skies, refining both my field techniques and my post-processing workflow. In this astrophotography editing course, I walk through the same Lightroom workflow I use to process my own night sky images.

Through workshops and educational resources, my goal is to help photographers develop the skills and confidence needed to capture and edit compelling landscape and astrophotography images.

If you’re looking for a clear, repeatable Lightroom workflow, this astrophotography editing course will guide you through the entire process step by step.

Struggling With Astrophotography Editing?

If you’ve tried editing night sky photos before, you may have run into problems like:

  • Your images look noisy or grainy
  • The Milky Way appears flat and lacks contrast
  • Colors look unnatural or overly saturated
  • Stars lose detail when you sharpen the image
  • You’re unsure which adjustments to make first

Astrophotography editing can quickly become confusing when you don’t have a structured workflow.

This course was designed to solve that problem by giving you a clear process you can follow every time you edit a night sky image.
