Zodiacal Light & Milky Way

The Zodiacal Light in the February evening sky, looking west. The northern autumn Milky Way is at right, the Zodiacal Light at left, with Venus about to set and Mars above it. The Andromeda Galaxy is at centre.

I shot this from the City of Rocks State Park, south of Silver City, New Mexico.

This is a stack of 5 x 2 minute exposures with the 14mm lens at f/2.8 with the Canon 5D MkII at ISO 1600, tracked on the Star Adventurer tracker.
