Celestial Sedona

The Milky Rises over Sedona's Thunder Mountain as seen from one of the many sandstone caves that can be found in the area. The orange glow is from the city of Sedona. The purple hues along the horizon is from smoke from nearby wildfires.

 

The exposure time shown is for the blue hour shot I took earlier. I then moved to the mouth of the cave to shoot the night sky an hour and a half or so later with a star tracker. That exposure was 4 minutes at f/4 and iso 800. The resulting images were then blended in photoshop to achieve this final image.
