Composites…
I’ve posted composites here before, anytime that I’ve used the skytracker(foregrounds look rather funny when the camera is moving to follow the sky and the foreground doesn’t), the foreground has been shot separately and then been blended with the sky. These are a bit different, for some reason they cannot exist in nature. The key is to make them look like they could exist by blending the two photos together so they don’t look like they’ve just been slapped together.

Milky Way over Chinese Garden at The Huntington.
Obviously since the The Huntington is in the Los Angeles basin you can't see the Milky Way, but what if? The foreground shot of the Chinese Garden was shot during daylight(The Huntington is not generally open at night) and was darkened with highlighting for path lighting. The shot of the Milky way is from Gaviota blended with some light pollution at the bottom.
