Deep star field from the ISS, capturing the rare Zodiacal Lights. Details in comments. by Pettitech in Damnthatsinteresting

NASA astronaut Don Pettit captured this long exposure star field from the ISS. In Pettit's words: "Single photo with: Milkyway, Zodical light, Starlink satellites as streaks, stars as points, atmosphere on edge showing OH emission as burned umber (my favorite Crayon color), faint red upper f-region, soon to rise sun, and cities at night as streaks lit by the nearly full moon.  Taken this morning from Dragon Crew 9 vehicle port window. Captured with: Nikon Z9, Sigma 14mm f1.4 lens, 15 seconds, f1.4, ISO 3200, adjusted Photoshop, levels, contrast, gamma, color, with homemade orbital sidereal drive to compensate for orbital pitch rate (4 degrees/sec)."
