Star gazing in Arizona

This is my second attempt in astrophotography. What a rush it was to see my first images on my digital viewfinder. Yet I was so disappointed in not capturing the milky way! I was february 2021 in Arizona facing south to south east.
I use a nikon full frame 610 and a sigma 10-20mm f4--5.6 lens. I follow the basic suggestions for star photography, maybe sometimes a bit conservative on the ISO. this image was taken: 15 sec at f4.5
focal length 13mm ISO 3200. I has the exposure bias at -2/3 EV by mistake. (too excited )
Another thing: in spite of a large calibrated monitor my printed images looks darker, unless under bright direct light. drives me nuts!

Oasis

One of my favorite waterfalls I've photographed in recent years. deep in the backcountry of Vancouver Island lies this pristine oasis.
