Description

The first in a series of astro nightscape images taken during a camping trip to Assateague Island on the shores of the Atlantic in Maryland.  The first set of images was taken on the night of September 24, 2021 after the near fully illuminated waning gibbous moon had risen.  So, no Milky Way in these shots, but the landscape was beautifully illuminated and the bright evening planets Jupiter and Saturn shown high in the southern sky.  This image was taken from the campsite side of the dune panning from the southeast to the southwest.

Imaged using a Nikon D5300 (full spectrum modified), IDAS HEUIB-II (H-α Enhanced UV IR Blocking) filter, and 14 mm Rokinon lens at F2.8. Exposures were 10 seconds at ISO-1600.

Combined 5 subs using Sequator (composition = align stars/freeze ground, auto brightness=ON, HDR=ON, LP reduction = ON/uneven (intelligently agressive=OFF), enhance starlight=ON). Panorama generated from 5 panels using Microsoft Image Composition Explorer (ICE).
