Light pollution limits some of the clarity, but I’m pretty happy with the results.

The milky way stretches above a glowing gold horizon in pastel pinks and purples.
The Milky Way fills the sky vertically, stretching from a glowing orange horizon into the dark night sky overhead.

Two shots of the Milky Way from a hilltop in central Pennsylvania, nice and far from any major city or source of light pollution. The orange glow and haze near the horizon comes mostly from smoke particles still blowing down from Canada. The first shot was during nautical twilight, and the second was shot two hours later during the darkest portion of the night.
