This was a single exposure with the following settings:

Nikon Z6 | 20mm f/1.8G

ISO 1250 | 20mm | 15s | f/1.8

Edited with Photoshop

Captured this completely by luck when I was shooting a milky way timelapse. You can see the milky way in the background on the right :)

Edit:

Thank you everyone for all the awards and comments and messages. I truly appreciate it. You guys are awesome!
