Milky Way (Z6 II - 20mm), Cypress Point, NC - 07Apr24 (In Explore)

            I saw it was going to be a clear night, so I took a ride to Phelps Lake since it was forecast to be cloudy for the next 2 weeks. I didn’t want to miss my chance for an April Milky Way. While my Z7 II was taking some tracked shots, I used my Z6 II to do a simple stacked shoot. 15 frames for the sky, and 15 light painted foreground frames (It is a long pier and I wanted to make sure I had what I needed. Stacked the sky in Sequator, blended the foreground in Photoshop. Combined the sky and foreground in Photoshop.
