Hi Rob.
I have had an interest in imaging Deep Sky Objects from a terrestrial point of view for nearly 2 years and have experimented a lot with focal lengths from 50mm to 500mm, but it's only now that I have accumulated enough Photoshop skills to produce anything presentable.
The images are "imaginary" and "artistic". I make no claim to reality. Although I have tried to keep the focal length, FOV, latitude, azimuth and altitude constant for both the "Sky Layer" and "Terestrial Layer" that I combine.
Is this any different to the "stacking" we do with DSO's?..I don't know, and it doesn't matter.
I am having a lot of fun producing these images and I will continue developing this idea.
I'm really glad you like the photo.
Thank you.

Thank you Rick.
I wasn't sure how these "imaginary" images would be accepted so I'm very happy you like the photo.

Glad you like the photo Ric.
It would be nice to see these objects rising and setting with the naked eye...even more fun than watching the Sun and Moon rise and set.
Thank you.
