Description

Milky Way over Lake Michigan. Newport State Park, Door County. Canon 60d modified, stationary tripod. 1 30 second exposure with Canon 18-200 kit lens, @f/3.5, ISO6400. Shots like this really need a better lens, but this is all I have for now.

Newport just received IDA Dark Sky Park designation last year and is Wisconsin's first and only. A family vacation and clear moonless skies coincided and I was able to dash out to this wonderfully dark place to take some pictures. I have never been to skies darker than Bortle 4-5 ever before, so this was a real treat. I have GOT to go there with my AP kit!

WOW!
