Utah Astrophotography
Kolob Terrace MW Pano
The completed pano of the MW rising above the Kolob Terrace in Zion National Park. Tremendous red airglow had diffused throughout the sky, we had clear skies while shooting the foreground and of course as soon as we started taking our tracked sky exposures some clouds immediately formed over the core of the MW. Typical luck I suppose, still the picture turned out quite nice and the clouds added a bit of drama to the scene. Happy with the Z7 and 50mm f1.8s as well as the Sky Watcher Star Adventurer Mini, my new setup for the 2019 season should be fantastic for some of the more strenuous shooting locations I have planned for this year.
18 exposures for this image, 9 for the sky, 9 for the foreground all taken with my Nikon Z7 and 50mm f1.8s lens on a Sky Watcher Star Adventurer mini. Foreground exposures are 2 minutes at ISO 640 and f1.8, sky exposures are 3 minutes at ISO 640 and f2.2.
