Canon 6d tamron 15-30 @ 15mm F2.8 ISO 6400 25s x 29 image panorama.
I've been waiting to do a backlit shot with the moon for around 1 1/2 years now - conditions have never been good to do so for when I've been available. I went 3 times last year and despite clear forecasts, ended up being clouded out (I don't mind a bit of cloud though). So having the back lit conditions - the Pinnacles create some long shadows. I made some silly mistakes off course, but that's just part of life.
Apart from the moon - the zodiacal light streams up towards the core of the milky way.

Quick question .. from your description, are you saying this is a 29 shot "stacked" photo ???

it's a 29 shot panorama - so the images are basically stuck next to each other with over lap for the panorama - as distinct to other forms of astrophotography stacking

I have seen thousands of Milky Way Arch images but this is simply the best! Beautiful in every detail, an amazingly jaw dropping shot my friend. Well captured!

This is one of the best milky way and space photos I've ever seen, period. Amazing job!

Absolutely terrific! Where was this taken? You said the Pinnacles, but I am sure that it is not Pinnacles State Park in California. Regardless, it is a masterpiece!
