FAQs:
Is this AI?
No, it’s a composite image made from a regular DSLR for the foreground and a specialized dedicated astronomy camera for the sky.
What is the red stuff in the sky?
This is the red light given off by hydrogen gas in space. Most normal cameras filter out this light, but I used a camera that is sensitive to this wavelength in this photo.

How do you not have a blurry foreground using a tracker? I've always wondered that because I've never been able to do landscape astrophotography

Insane photo, do you have some more information about the creation? Like you said foreground was taken with a DSLR how did you merge the photos? Were both series of photos taken at the same time? How did you manage to swap the cameras without touching or bouncing against the tripod/ scope? Would love to create such photo from my view
