Description

As I was imaging Mars recently the magnificence of the Milky Way was framed by the slit in my observatory dome. I took 20 photos with my Canon EOS 5D mkII, with the Samyang 14mm, f/2.8 lens, ISO 3200, 15 sec exposure. I registered and stacked the stars and Milky Way with PixInsight and separately the foreground of the observatory. These were combined with Photoshop.
