This wasn't a point-and-shoot situation, but rather a blend of six exposures that took several hours and plenty of technical know-how to capture the night sky with incredible detail. | AJ Nealey

AJ says, “So this is my first tracked, stacked, and blended panoramic photo. This photo was taken from a non-light polluted area in West Virginia. I spent several hours setting up the star tracker, getting the polar alignment correct, and snapping 1-minute exposures.”

AJ will receive a complimentary Overland Experience package for himself and a guest. The runners-up featured below will receive a complimentary Weekend Pass with Camping tickets for themselves and a guest.

With so many great entries, we couldn’t just show you four photos. Here are some of our favorite entries!

Be on the lookout for more photo contests via our Instagram and newsletter!
