Description

My first Milky Way photo!

I spent one night under the stars and captured this. For the foreground, I took a single blue hour shot. And then around 11 PM I shot the Milky Way with a 131s exposure. I spent about four hours out there imaging.

The foreground is a tad bright for usual Milky Way photos, but I wanted to try it. I’m going to upload another version where I took a darker picture of the foreground. 

These are the natural colors of the Milky Way. The nebula are naturally pink, the star clusters naturally blue, and the two little stars next to the rock are actually Jupiter and Saturn.


“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8:3-4
