Auroras meeting the Milky Way galaxy, seen in this sidereal view from the International Space Station. My homemade star tracker made this shot possible, allowing stars to be viewed as fixed pinpoints while the Earth continued to move below. When auroras enter the exposure, we get these amazing colors bridging Earth and space! Taken on Expedition 72, with Nikon Z9, 14mm F1.4, 6400 ISO.

What an incredible shot! Thanks u/astro_pettit as ever!
Question for you. Me and my dad just had a conversation on this yesterday. Is the Milky Way more or less pronounced for you being you’re far far away from city light pollution?
