Description

I have always wanted to photograph this very colourful part of the sky but it never gets high enough above the horizon at my 49 degree north latitude home. During my recent trip to the Atacama Desert in Chile, I made it a point to photograph it, but as all photographers know, things don't always go as planned! I was only able to capture and stack 20 one-minute exposures with a modified Canon R6 and (my favourite lens) the Sigma Art 135mm at f/1.8, ISO 800. Photo slightly cropped.
