I'm pretty excited about this one. Before my trip to Utah I picked up a star tracker and this is my first crack at 'deep space' tracking. The sky is composed of a 32mm 50s single exposure at ISO640.

Tracking stars and deep space imaging aren't easy, but man it sure is cool to see the results.

Excellent capture. I recently started shooting the milky way. Read about the trackers. Did you blend two photos, one for the stars and another one for the mountains? Or, is this the result of a single long exposure shot?

Thanks! This is two exposures blended together; the sky was tracked for nearly a minute using my iOptron set up and the mountains were shot in the late afternoon.
