The depths of deep space meets the depths of the Pacific Ocean. From the ISS I was able to use my homemade star tracker to capture stars as fixed points while the Earth remains blurred by orbital speeds. Seen here is the Milky Way above the Pacific Ocean, separated by a rim of light from the rising sun. Captured with Nikon Z9, 14mm F1.4 DG, ISO 12800, 8s using orbital sidereal drive.

First time over Giant’s Deep?
^(I just found out that the planet names in Outer Wilds aren’t that great in English…)
Incredible photo!
A homemade star tracker! Im so curious, how did you engineer that up and did you make it while on the ISS?
