So many elements in this shot! Earth, Venus, dust from the solar system, multiple star clusters, and a galaxy 3 million light years away.

I created this image with a stack of five sixty second exposures, tracking the stars to eliminate star trails, and one two minute exposure of the foreground and blended the two shots together.
