Half Dome Milky Way Portrait

            Photobombed by a Meteor

The Eastern Milky Way is seen as it rises behind Half Dome. Not as dramatic as the Galactic Center that I usually photograph, but still loaded with stars. This is the second Theta Virginid meteor that I captured Sunday night.

Full Disclosure: This is a blend of Half Dome under moonlight with an image of the Milky Way taken 40 minutes later, but rotated back to the time the image of HD was taken. The meteor was in the sky image I selected to blend, but I moved it a bit for artistic reasons. 

Tech details: Sony A7S, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 at f/2.8, ISO3200, 45 seconds, 73mm. Camera was on a Star Adventurer EQ tracker, but ended up not doing a stack for the stars. I just used the single frame with the meteor instead. I did do a stack for Half Dome while the tracker was not running
