Milky Way and the MAGIC Telescope

Tamron 15-30mm/F2.8 at 15mm/F2.8. Nikon D800 (astro-modified).

This is a stack of 12 8-second untracked exposures at ISO 6400. The sky, the sky in the mirror, and the foreground are stacked separately, and then blended together.

MAGIC Telescope (Major Atmospheric Gamma Imaging Cherenkov Telescopes) is to observe the Cherenkov radiation emitted by high-energy particles hitting out atmosphere.
