Description

From Oct 6 through Oct 10, I got the chance to head up to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota, a dark sky sanctuary.  Classed as a Bortle 1, and the first two nights I was there, were moonless and clear.  This was my first attempt at a Milkyway landscape shot, using a cheap 24mm Canon lens on my Canon T8i on top of an iOptron Skyguider Pro.  The image is just one 60 second exposure at ISO 3200.
