A Grand Milky Way
Bry and I just got back from a good trip up to my family cabin, we had a solid 4 nights of mostly clear shooting and got a lot of great shots of the Comet NEOWISE and the Milky Way. The area is full of awesome lakes and dramatic mountain peaks which create some very cool foreground compositions. This lake is one of my favorite in the area, I've shot here a lot over the years and it never gets old. This time I decided to do an 85mm panorama with my Z7 and new Nikon 85mmS, it takes a fair amount of work and time to pull off one of these large resolution mosaics, but the composition with the mountains and lake reflections made it the perfect focal length.
20 exposures for this image, all shot with a Nikon Z7 and Nikkor 85mmS on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer tracking mount. Sky Exposures are 2 minutes at f2 and ISO 640, foreground exposures are 2 minutes at f1.8 and ISO 1600, reflection exposures are 20 seconds at f1.8 and ISO 6400.
