Description

In the midst of the New Valley Desert, I awaited the ascent of the galactic core. Then, like a cosmic curtain pulling back, the Milky Way emerges from darkness. It begins as a faint smudge above the jagged silhouette of the rock structure, then gradually blooms into a dazzling band arching across the sky. 

Another blended composite from my night at a Bortle 1 location in the New Valley Desert. The sky shots were shot as the milky way started to appear and Antares, the red supergiant was high and visible. Foreground was shot just before sunrise.
