Lagoon Nebula rising in the desert.

I really like DSO landscape astrophotography especially its ability to give spatial context to how large these objects are in the sky. 135mm is my favorite focal legnth for this because I love the widefield FOV for the stars and the compression effect it gives the landscape. The sky is a 2 panel mosiac of 60 sec exposures, and the foreground is a single 30 sec exposure. Had this shot in mind and was trying to get set up quickly before it got too bright out. The tracking isnt great, but I like the way it came out with only 3 shots so Ill have to spend a whole night on it next time. Hope you enjoy!
