Milky Way
Late core season. The galactic core is low in the southwest after dark and sets in the evening.

Worked out from the capture time, not the place: the moon’s phase is the same everywhere on Earth at a given moment.

ChromaLuxe metal · ready to hang

TruLife acrylic · ready to hang

The print is face-mounted beneath optical-grade, anti-glare TruLife acrylic. Details seem to sit inside the glass; light falling across the face makes the piece look lit from within. Our statement piece, and the one to choose for the wall that gets the light. Float-mounted, ready to hang.

Framed acrylic, linen liner · ready to hang

The TruLife acrylic piece finished in a handcrafted hardwood frame with a linen liner — Tabacchino scoop in dark ash or black by default; the other profiles are on the Framing page. A 4-inch frame with a 2-inch liner adds about 12 inches to each dimension of the print.
