I went to Namibia a few years ago and captured this over the course of one hour. The sky is roughly 42 minutes of exposure time, and sadly it was quite smokey that day so the processing was quite the challenge but I feel satisfied with the result nonetheless. The feeling of being under a dark sky like that is one I wish every human being could experience… suddenly, life doesn't seem so complicated in vastness of our universe.
Here are some details on the acquisition: Sony a7IV (astromodified) + 24mm f/1.4 GM lens on a SkyGuider Pro.
7 panels across for the sky at 6 minutes per panel (90s x 4)
7 panels for the foreground

So what did it look like to your eyes? That’s what I’m always confused about.
Stunning capture mate absolutely love the subtle details in the Halpha that you have through the core and towards the tail end on the right! Do you use a star mist filter by any chance?
