Description

Last week the forecast looked to be very nice so I decided to go visit one of the darkest sites around here. It's called North Frontenac Dark sky preserve. A location dedicated for Astronomers here in Ontario. It was incredible!

My goal was to shoot Antares with my main setup, but I also had another mount to get this 35mm shot.

This was very late in the evening as the Milky way is just rising but it was good timing as the moon just went down so I only had about an hour as I had to wait for the Milky way to rise to frame Antares. After that there's not much time, it's very low here for us to shoot.

The skies were just amazing up there and I can't wait to go back.
