180° from Nantucket

Here's an 180° all-sky photo of the Milky Way from Nantucket Island. Instead of using a 8mm fisheye lens on the 6D to shoot a single exposure, I decided to shoot nine vertical frames using a 15mm f/2.8 lens and stitched them together. The result is a higher resolution file with more detail. Reddish airglow is also seen along with the combined light domes from the cities in SE Massachusetts. The blackness of the North Atlantic is evident with the exception of a few fishing boats. Without a doubt, one of the darkest locations along the US east coast. The others being northern and central Maine and the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

National Seashore Skies

The month of August ended with some beautiful clear nights for our Cape Cod National Seashore Milky Way workshops. Here's a capture from Wellfleet showing a client light painting a large sand dune while the summer Milky Way sets in the west.

Where's Your Park?

Summer is the best time to get away from the big city lights and enjoy the beauty of the night sky. So where's your park to see the stars and Milky Way?

Nantucket Milky Way Skyscapes

I'm a bit behind on posting to the blog so let's go back to early June where I taught a overnight astrophotography workshop on Nantucket.  We lucked out with a beautiful clear night from dusk to dawn.  If you can hit the good weather just right, you'll be treated to some of the darkest skies in the eastern US. Bortle Class 2-3. 
If you interested in joining a future workshop, I'll be on Martha's Vineyard and then the Outer Cape the end of August.  Message me for more details!

Sneak Peek - Gabriela & Nelson - The Dennis Inn

Congratulations to Gabriela & Nelson on tying the knot just before Christmas! We lucked out with a clear moonlit winter night to capture them in front of the inn while the stars and universe rotated overhead.  It was great working with DJ Danny Wash, Designer's Touch and Janene Hargreaves from the Dennis Inn
