Milky Way at GSENM, Utah

shniks

Last night was incredible - never seen such dark skies. To top it all, I saw a few meteors from the Perseids Meteor Shower - however, since I am going to photograph it at its peak (August 11 night and August 12 night), I did not want any of them in my frame. Can't wait to head back tonight for another composition that I have in mind in Candyland. Nikon D850 and the Nikon 70-200 E Fl lens at 70mm. Dual exposure - foreground at dusk and the MW at night. Milky Way taken with a Star Adventurer star tracker... ISO 400, 4 minutes exposure, f/3.2. This was my first time using a tracker and I am very pleased with it.

Cheers,

Well you have raised your standards way high, so if I can be honest, this is not your best.
In case you are wondering why, to me sky seems muddled as I can't find the MW and nothing special about fg either.

Keep bringing us more though.....you had like 20 epic ones in row.....
Cheer Nikhil.

No worries - thanks for the honest feedback. The sky seems muddled because it is on a telephoto and so you are just seeing the core. It is my understanding that most folks like to see the MW from a wide angle perspective. :-)
