One of my favorite Milky Way photos from ISS, with the multicolored city lights of Southeast Asia streaking across the exposure from orbital velocity, while distant stars remain fixed by my star tracker. The long exposure intensifies the upper atmospheric airglow into a thick red band! The green and blue lights are LEDs used for luring fish off the coast, and are more prominent in this region than anywhere else on Earth!
