It was a quiet, dark night in Texas when my friend and I arrived at this abandoned house just a stone's throw from the Rio Grande/border with Mexico. I shot this image with my Sony a7IV (astromodified) on my Benro Polaris as a 50mm panorama to capture incredible levels of detail. I made a 30s video describing this process about another work of mine if you're curious to see a visualization of how it all comes together! If you'd like to snag a free wallpaper, it's available here on my print site.

This is incredible. Did you shoot foreground at a different exposure?
I would love to see a “naked-eye equivalent” photo of the same sky, if you have any.
It would be a darker place if the lights were off in the house in front of you.
That is a magnificent capture, OP.
Brings back a fond memory of the time that my buddies and I got a splendid view of a clear night sky while camping in northern Ontario. The stars were just as vibrant, and it was my first time beholding the Milky Way in all its glory.
It was a long while before I looked back down.
Is this a trip an inexperienced hiker and camper can make to see the sky?
Beautiful pic thanks for posting it’s truly incredible
Incredible composition OP! Have you found it easier to get a composure like this with a mirrorless camera like your a7IV?
Could you not have gone to somewhere a bit darker and got a few more megapixels?
