I wrestled with the idea of doing this because it felt like exploiting Gregory- so each photo was only captured while he was just doing his normal routine. I will also be making a donation to the shelter I got him from with calendar proceeds (will post the actual amount EOY)

He went from being miserable in a shelter to bringing millions of people closer to the stars. It's hard to imagine a more perfect glow-up!

He's also now starring in his own cosmic calendar, which you can see here! cosmicbackground.io/products/202...

Shadow is static because I masked in a single frame from the stack so the shadow wasn’t blurred

That would be true if these were trails from earth’s motion, which they aren’t. These are trails from lunar motion! Roughly 1.5 hours of exposures were used for the trails here

Thank you for sharing my work!

This is incorrect. It was captured in hydrogen-alpha light, which is perfectly visible. 6562.8 angstroms.

I call this piece "Kardashev Dreams" as it represents the humble beginnings as our civilization grows

I released it in two versions: This one, and one that's an uncropped panorama you can see on my website here: cosmicbackground.io/pages/kardas...

Prints available for a short time!
