Walking on the Moon

I didn't get to take many Milky Way shots last year.. 2 in total I think, so I'm looking forward to this season.

The landscape in the South Dakota Badlands has been compared to that of the Moon. So on this moonless night, it was easy to imagine that the Moon had fallen from the sky and was indeed beneath my feet.

I took 3 vertical images each for the sky and foreground. Sky images were tracked for 2 minutes each with the iOptron Pro at ISO 800. The foreground images were light painted with my flashlight and exposed for 2 minutes at ISO 2500.
