Description

Image is a composite of the Milky way over the Al Medawara Rock in Al Fayoum's Wady Al Rayan National Park.  Sky was shot in the Valley of Whales on the night of the 12th of May and the foreground was shot 30 km away just after sunrise on the way back. Orientation of sky to foreground was established using Stellarium to match at the same time the sky was shot. I always wanted to spend the night in this Al Medawara spot but it's just by a lake "Wady El Rayan" and there are viper snakes and scorpions and. Also since I shoot DSO at the same spot I am doing wide Astro landscapes, my spot in Valley of Whales is a bortle 2 while this rock is a bortle 4. I even didn't process the sky heavily to match the foreground bortle
