Description

Another massive undertaking, following on the heels of my 88 hour Flying Bat and Squid image. This image is from another region nearby in the constellation Cepheus. The smoke from the summer wildfires had thinned, but was still present in my final image. The stars glow with an almost Van Gogh-like quality as their light scatters about. The dust of this gorgeous corner of space combines with the particulates caught up in the upper level winds above my home to create a luminous and ghostly composition.
