Description

This is the hardest object I 've ever captured till now , Its a real challenge for anyone love astrophotography . The interstellar dust required like forever to be obvious with tons of masks and stretching trials to be compatible with background and in same time to preserve the contrast.
The sky and foreground are taken in same place , For the scale to be fit I shot the sky image by ZWO 294 mm pro with redcat and the foreground with the A7 III with 300 mm lens so the FOV is nearly close to each other .
Sky image was on 3 nights at Bortle 5 area and I enhanced the L channel by some data I took in Bortle 2 area . The foreground was away from the "Qatamyah" observatory by 6 km in very remote area away from everything, It was so scary night and I heard different night animals sounds during the session , I was so scared that I even thought it was Alien sounds  , I couldn't expect more as i was capturing a sea monster in the sky.
