Description

I haven’t been quite as productive with my DSO photography because of a few technical issues, but my Sony mirrorless camera can take fun photos with very little fuss and in this case without a tripod. I propped my Sony A7III on the top of my pickup. I took 15 second exposures at 3200 ISO with a 2.8 f ratio. I used a Tamron 15-30 wide angle zoom lens.

The thing that I liked about this image is the reflection of the Milky Way on the roof of my truck. I didn’t expect that.
