Description

The first in a series of astro nightscape images taken during a trip to Deep Creek Lake in Western Maryland.  The images were taken on the night of January 15, 2022 after the near fully illuminated waning gibbous moon had risen.  So, no Milky Way in these shots, but the landscape was nicely illuminated by the Moon.  This image was taken from the shore of the lake facing the Deep Creek Lake Dam 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 F/2.8. Exposures were 15 seconds at ISO-1600.

Combined 11 subs using Sequator (composition = align stars/freeze ground, auto brightness=ON, HDR=ON, LP reduction = ON/uneven (intelligently aggressive=OFF), enhance starlight=ON). Additional post-processing in PixInshight:  Curves transformation and hdr transformation adjustments.
