I wanted to take this picture for years

I took this picture at the Al Quaa Milky Way spot in the UAE. The location is perfect for stargazing. The vastness of the desert contributes to the vastness of space and creates a unique atmosphere ideally suited for marveling at the night sky.

I have been fascinated by space for as long as I can remember and have wanted to take a picture of the Milky Way core for years. I have made attempts in the past, but none of them were as good as the pictures I took last weekend. Nevertheless, I have many more astrophotography ideas and am already looking forward to my next night sky photoshoot.
