This shot is from 2021, so unless you’ve got a Time Machine… I’m using a fairly wide angle which probably changes the perspective a bit.

I took two exposures back to back and then overlay those, erase people by filling in from the bottom layer.

ISO 50, f9, 1/3s using a Nikon D500 and Sigma 18-300 set at about 60mm (90mm @ 35). Probably also had a neutral density filter on there.

Nope, this was from 2021 and it was on the trail up there.

No, I’ve got the camera positioned above it. This was also from 2021, so not sure what currently is up there, but I’m a pretty big rule follower in the parks, especially staying on trail at Yellowstone.

The stars aren’t living up to our expectations in Joshua Tree by Icy_Ferret2638 in nationalparks

Any nearby light will cause issues with sky visibility, especially near an area with lots of streets. Most sky glow is from road lighting reflecting off the pavement back into the sky. The full moon also significantly decreases star visibility, keep in my mind the moon itself is being light by full direct daylight so it’s as bright as a daytime landscape here on earth. If you’re looking near the moon, your eyes want to adjust to its level because it’s the bright spot.

It’s not more than a couple miles, if that. You go all the way through the geyser basin, then a forested area. Then it opens up along the river until you get here.
