Description

The Image is a stitched blended Winter Milkyway Panorama over Qussor Al Arab in Al Fayoum Egypt on the 7th of February. Foreground was taken during blue hour and sky taken later that night from same position when the arch was in the appropriate position to capture as it set into the dunes of the cold desert. I really wish there was a good clip in filter for my Z camera filter like the L-pro. I have a CLS from Astrnomik that I might try if I attempt this again. I have used before and brings out all the nebulosity fine but is not kind to the sky background and stars. So, I processed the sky best I could to bring out the nebulosity without destroying it  I am pretty pleased with the airglow.
