Remembering the beautiful dark skies of Death Valley from a year ago

Just one year ago, I was introduced to what true dark skies really look like; I became spellbound under those stars.

This is what a total lunar eclipse looks like during the morning light… it’s actually a rare occurrence to see a total lunar eclipse during sunrise.

This was a challenge to shoot! (THIS IS NOT AI or SKY REPLACEMENT, THIS IS A GENUINE REAL IMAGE-screenshot of raw in comments) Planned with PhotoPills, tracked with MSM Nomad, four panel pano shot with Sony astro modified camera, stitched with PTGui, edited in LR/PS. Tons of light pollution, haze and clouds, sunrise creeping in, but I got it! Read the sad story I have to accompany the image!
