Description

I would like to share with you this extraordinary view I had the pleasure to photograph a few weeks ago from the Mexican national observatory (Observatorio Astronomico Nacional) in San Pedro Martir, Baja California.
In this fisheye framing Zodiacal light and Milky Way are forming a V shape over a main 2 meters telescope dome of the observatory, surrounded by a strong amount of airglow.
As the camera is astro modified, a lot of h-alpha nebula can be spotted, such as Barnard Loop, California, Heart & Soul of Cassiopeia, to mention some.

Technical details:

Rokinon fisheye 12mm f2.8
Nikon D750a @ iso800, 16 x 20" (stack of 16)
Sequator, LightRoom, PixInsight, PhotoShop
