These two events rarely coincide—but on this night, everything lined up perfectly.</p><p>📸 Swipe to see the images & timelapse! Full-res shots are on my site at Capture the Atlas. You can also check out the RAW bracketed files from my close-up shot in my pinned IG stories.</p><p>This is why I chase the night sky—because sometimes, the universe gives us pure magic.
