Zodiacal Light on a cloudy night
The Zodiacal Light - the beam pointing towards the Pleiades. 10, 15 second shots stacked in Sequator = 2 minute 30 seconds of exposure. Rokinon 14mm, f2.8, ISO 6400, Nikon D850.
From Wikipedia: The zodiacal light is a faint, diffuse, and roughly triangular white glow that is visible in the night sky and appears to extend from the Sun's direction and along the zodiac, straddling the ecliptic. Sunlight scattered by interplanetary dust causes this phenomenon. Zodiacal light is best seen in the Northern Hemisphere during twilight after sunset in spring and before sunrise in autumn.
The zodiac is a belt-shaped region of the sky that extends approximately 8° north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year.
