2021, Milky way in NM

This post should be the sequel to a similar post for 2020 (that I never made). Although things got better in 2021, still so much of the travel I did during this year was domestic, and particularly locally in New Mexico. One of my favorite styles is astroscapes, and I did a lot more of that in 2021. I think most folks are OK with these types of photos in this forum judging from past posts.

Here are a few of my favorites for 2021. I shoot with 2 systems (Fuji & Sony), but these were shot with the Sony a7r3, and with a 16-35mm Sony or 17-28 Tamron; + low-level lighting for the foreground, and stacking 8-10 shots for the background for noise reduction.
