Time exposure using my orbital sidereal tracker from Dragon Crew 9 vehicle. This images shows horizon views of the Milky Way, atmospheric airglow, aurora, and the soon to rise sun over a cloudy Pacific ocean. The typical green (557nm) and red (630nm) emissions are accented with sun driven resonance scattering from nitrogen molecules (391nm). The blue-purple emission is commonly seen during the sunrise-sunset phase of orbit.
Nikon Z9, Sigma 14mm f1.4 lens, 10 sec, f1.4, ISO 12800, Sky Watcher modified tracker, adjusted Photoshop, levels, gamma, contrast, color. I am careful with the color adjustment to render the Natural colors in a realistic way (I despise over board color adjustments).

Absolutely beautiful! If that color rendition is as accurate as you say, it must be even more stunning in person.
Also, how cool is it that we have actual astronauts posting here?!
