Star field time exposure showing Andromeda M31 and the Pinwheel in Triangulum M33. The red is f-region atmospheric airglow coupled with some red and green aurora near the soon to rise sun. City lights streak below on Earth while my handmade sidereal drive tracks stars as pinpoints in spite of our orbital speeds! Captured with Nikon Z9, Nikon 50mm f1.2 lens, 10sec, f1.2, ISO6400, adj Photoshop, levels, gamma, contrast, color; during Expedition 72 to the ISS.

Thank you for sharing your journey in such crispy detail, good sir!
I can’t believe you went to space just for the Reddit karma.
