In one 6 sec exposure, year old Space X satellites and an ancient visitor from the cosmos. Comet Neowise. I used Nikon Z 50 mm prime instead of the customary wide angle to better frame the comet against the backdrop. Mountains were lit by the glow from Las Vegas in the distance behind me.

I would have photoshopped the starlink satellites out to keep the focus on neowise. But excellent shot!

Thanks Virus. I considered it and I have other frames with out the satellites. I thought the juxtaposition of time was interesting. The satellites being brand new vs the comet and the mountains being hundreds of millions of years old.
