This is really outstanding! Kudos to you. Is there any possible chance these could be made into widescreen offerings? I’d love to have an arresting Milky Way image for my desktop!

Some details on the shot:
Back in April I was in Big Bend, Texas, under the darkest skies in the United States. If you haven’t been, I highly recommend it for night sky viewing. It’s the first time I’ve seen a sky as dark as what I experienced on my trip to Namibia a few years ago – you can practically see in the dark with only starlight guiding your way.
This image took me three separate attempts to assemble – managing the blending of frames perfectly proved to be quite the challenge! It’s a combination of 129 images captured on my astro modified Sony A7IV and Sigma 105 lens. The Sigma 105 is a beast when combined with the A7IV’s 33 megapixel sensor, and in my opinion, this is the perfect sweet spot for resolution where my final image turns out gigantic but my computer can still handle it (just barely).
