Alvord Desert, Oregon July 2025

I shot this during a road trip camping all over Northern Nevada and Southeastern Oregon. What a magical place for lovers of dark skies.

Nikon Z7 with Nikkor 14-24mm Z F/2.8 lens.

Sky: F/2.8 ISO 2000 192 seconds, iOptron SyTracker Pro. Sky image cropped to an area I'm guessing would be captured with 40-45mm lens.

Foreground: F/8 ISO 400 1/10 sec
