After the initial panorama was created using Photoshop Photomerge, the Milky Way arch appeared complete, but the horizon was slightly curved. This is a common effect of panorama stitching, where the software prioritizes smooth blending between frames. To achieve a natural look, I manually adjusted and leveled the horizon while preserving the real curvature of the Milky Way. These final corrections turned the stitched image into a realistic desert nightscape — close to what the eye truly sees under the dark skies of Joshua Tree National Park.
