I am an astrophotographer of only 19 years old, and since I was a child I have always been impressed by the universe. That is why every year I travel to the south of Chile, to seek to portray the beautiful southern landscapes, with the wonders that the universe has to offer me.

I spent an entire weekend, several hours a night, looking for a perfect composition for what I had in mind. And on one of those cold nights, I waited long enough for the Milky Way to not be so high in the sky, but also right behind this lonely tree. That's where I knew I would take one of my best photos.

Nikon D3300
Nikkor 18-55mm lens
Sky Watcher Star Adventurer 2i

9 photos of 30s for the sky, and 3 photos of 30s for the ground. Everything to create a mosaic of 3 images, and thus have everything in frame. Milky way stacked in Deepskystacker, preprocessed in Siril, and then all stitched together and processed in Photoshop. With the help of plugins like StarnetV2 and Astronomy tools actions.
