The MIlky Way in Scorpius (right) and Sagittarius (centre) toward the centre of the Galaxy as seen from southwest Arizona, from the Four Bar Cottages near the Arizona Sky Village at Portal, Arizona. I shot this the morning of May 4, using the Canon 6D at ISO 1600 and a stack of 4 x 3 minute exposures with the 24mm lens at f/2.8.
Venus shining in the pre-dawn sky amid the morning zodiacal light below the Milky Way, then overhead. I took this at about 5 am local time from near Coonabarabran, NSW, Australia, on April 6, 2014. This is a stack of 5 x 3 minute exposures, tracked, with the Rokinon 14mm lens at f/2.8 and Canon 5D Mark II at ISO 1600.
Jupiter at lower left in Gemini rising with Orion (at right) and the winter constellations of Auriga (upper left) and Taurus (upper centre) as seen from the Painted Pony Resort, New Mexico, December 4, 2013. This is a stack of 4 x 2.5 minute exposures at f/2.8 with the 24mm lens and Canon 5D MkII camera at ISO 1600. Some cloud and haze was in the sky, fuzzing the stars naturally. No filters employed here.
