I found this image while looking through old pictures during a long (3690 mi) just-concluded road trip to Michigan from Santa Fe. It is a view of the August Milky Way (18 Aug 2019) from Bristol Head Acres. It has the appearance of being shot through a diffusion filter, but it was not. There must have been a thin cloud layer or wildfire smoke haze acting as a natural diffusion filter.
Three planetary bodies are visible in this image: Saturn (upper left), Jupiter (brightest object right of middle), and the dwarf-planet Ceres (requires zooming in).
The lens used was a Bower (Samyang) 35mm f/1.4 manual-focus lens on a Sony A7 camera.
The dwarf-planet Ceres is circled in this cropped section:
A wider view of the same scene was obtained with a Rokinon 14mm f/2.8 manual-focus lens:
