Description

Here is another view of the Milky Way taken during are camping trip at the Maryland State Park on Assateague Island along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean the nights of September 20-21, 2019. This was the view to the southwest from the beach looking towards the Milky Way's core region. After imaging the Milky Way from the lower latitude at Hawaii this summer it was interesting to see how much lower the core region is in the sky from Maryland. The skyglow from the nearby campsites made a mess of the horizon in these images.

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 20 seconds at ISO-6400.

Combined 9 subs using Sequator (freeze ground, auto brightness=ON, HDR=ON, LP reduction = ON, intelligent LP=OFF). Light post-processing using PixInsight (histogram transformation, curves transformation, color saturation adjustment).
