There’s a serious problem with the registration between the Milky Way photo and the stars of the night sky. The bright cluster to the upper left of the sun, right of the monument, is indubitably the upper portion of Scorpio, which in actuality lies above and to the right of the portion of the Milky Way which is shown to the upper right of Scorpio in the picture. ( The pink blob is the Lagoon Nebula. )

Both the Milky Way and the stars appear about right with the horizon, as far as the limit of visibility goes, but they seem to have been projected differently.

The whole thing reminds me of a Dali painting: “The Persistence of Photoshop”
