This captured scene evokes a sense of timelessness, a perfect blend of the celestial and the earthly. As one admirer put it, quoting Ovid's Metamorphoses, "There is a high track, seen when the sky is clear, called the Milky Way, and known for its brightness. This way the gods pass to the palaces and halls of the mighty Thunderer..."

The photographer shared the impressive setup used to capture this image:

Gear:

  • Sony Alpha 7II mod
  • Sigma 20mm DG DN Art

  • MiopS remote control

EXIF Data:

  • Foreground: 3 x 30 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 800

The result is a testament to dedicated astrophotography, offering a glimpse into the profound beauty of our universe.
