Trip out to Alpine, Texas for some hikes in Big Bend and some dark skies. I’m still learning a lot and was my first Milky Way shooting.

Elephant's Trunk Nebula from Alpine, TX

Image Description
~30min of exposure stacked. 14mm Rokinon, 20s exposures, Canon EOS Ra. Sequator stacking and photoshop processing. The glow from the bottom is the city, the left side glow was from an annoying apartment complex near our rental, I built a makeshift shield from a blanket and a coat hanger to provide some shading and lens aborrations. Great learning experience for the Milky Way.
