Our very own milky way galaxy 🌌

Taken in Ontario, Canada πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

 

Category: Tracked Stacked Stitched and Blended

 

This was a night of trying to find answers to a lot of unanswered questions in my mind and I do it best under the night sky. The last few months have been quite difficult and the only way I knew I could get some peace was by going for the second attempt at capturing the full arch of the milky way as visible from the Northern Hemisphere. As you all know, It is not the easiest thing to do as multiple factors are in play when you plan something like this. However, it was a near perfect night until high clouds started rolling in soon after the sequence began. My tribute and regards to all the lost ones through silent conversations looking at the stars gave me so much calm and peace, it’s unexplainable.

 

Unfortunately, for the framing, the tree line came in the way of the core by the time it came up over the horizon and was also getting washed out due to the light pollution from the nearby car headlights. Another thing I noticed is that all the meteors β˜„οΈ captured in the individual frames seem to have magically vanished after the stack, stitch and blend. Will upload one of the single frames that captured some meteors later. I am quite happy with the single frames just by themselves. This is my second time capturing the full stretch of the visible galaxy and I promise next time is going to be even better πŸ˜…
