This image was a project that gave me a lot of headaches. I've rarely tried to edit an image more than once, and I've never created so many different versions of an image as I did here. When you are trying to reach or push the boundaries of astrophotography you have to take it all in. In my case it took over 1 year to put this final version together. The whole image is a panorama taken with a 135mm lens. The sky alone has 104 separate parts and together with the foreground the image was taken over 3 different nights. I am confident enough to say that this is one of the most challenging astro images in combination with landscape that has ever been taken.
