Arch within an Arch
The Milky Way Arches over a very cool area of Southern Utah, the skies are incredibly dark in the area which allows a lot of cool features such as the North America Nebula and Cygnus region to really stand out, even with an unmodified camera. Unfortunately clouds were a bit uncooperative that night, but even still it was good enough to get some core detail and beautiful highlighting of brighter stars.
16 exposures were used to create this image, 8 for the sky and 8 for the foreground, all taken with a Nikon Z7 and Nikkor 50mm f1.8s on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Mini tracking mount. Sky exposures were 3 minutes at ISO 800 and f2.8, foreground exposures were 2 minutes at ISO 800 and f2.
