Description

Imaged the Milky Way from the beach at Assateague Island State Park in eastern Maryland on the night of September 17th, 2022.  The image is taken facing to the south east looking over the dune towards the campground, hence the significant skyglow (enhanced by many campfires!) on the horizon.

Imaged using a Nikon D5300 (full spectrum modified), IDAS HEUIB-II (H-α Enhanced UV IR Blocking) filter, and 14 mm Rokinon lens at F/2.8. Exposures were 20 seconds at ISO-3200.

Combined 23 subs using Sequator (composition = align stars/freeze ground, auto brightness=ON, HDR=ON, LP reduction = ON/Level 2, enhance starlight=ON). Additional processing in PixInshight including:  curves transformation and hdr transformation.
