Milky Way Arch over frozen Lake Leelanau on a clear February morning from Leland. On the left side of the arch there's faint aurora in the sky, though it's drowned out by someone's green property light. On the opposite side of the arch, is the beloved Milky Way Core and below that is some really bright light pollution from Traverse City. | 12 image single row panorama | February 17, 2026 from 5:55am to 6:01am | Nikon Z8, Nikkor Z 20mm, Promaster tripod | 10 second shutter speed, f/2, ISO 4000 | Lightroom, PTGui, Photoshop | © 2026 Ethan Hohnke - Captures By Ethan
