Fascinating image! Can you tell us more about how it was captured? Is it a stack?
Thanks for your comment. This is a single image with the EXIF as shown, captured on 6/14, after sunset. I was taking a 7-frame bracket when the ISS flew through one of the frames, so I picked that (the ISS was a coincidence, everything else was planned). The clouds were a welcome surprise.
The national park has a strict exit curfew and the entrance is about 30 minutes from this location, so I had to bail before stars were really visible. I could have waited another 5-7 minutes and still made the curfew, turns out - but I didn't want to push my luck.
Stan, very nice image. I bet light pollution is nearly nonexistent there at night. I have not had the privilege of photographing in Australia yet and my travels have all been business so far (Sydney, Canberra, Melbourne).
Are there organized trips to the Kata Tjuṯan area that would allow late night astro work? Although I have to admit I have an unnatural fear of your snake population - nearly stepped on a large brown on the fringes of Sydney one time..... It actually briefly pursued me as a ran like a scared cat away from it.
