Namibia has been one of my favourite astronomy destinations. In the past years I was able to spend several days and weeks there. Back in 2022 I captured a landscape image during the last hours of the night when the Milky Way was setting behind the horizon. This 2024, from the same place (Tivoli Astrofarm) I captured several tens of images in order to go deeper in the Milky Way image details. I used the Move-Shoot-Move Nomad star tracker that worked perfectly to track the stars during almost 3 hours. The resulting image is a composite image made of the two layers, one captured in 2022 and the other one in 2024.
