Description

I snapped this on a recent visit to Mt. Desert Island in Maine. The southeastern shore looking over the Atlantic Ocean had the darkest sky I've ever seen (estimate is Bortle 2 or 3).   This is my first decent widefield Milky Way image, but I didn't have the opportunity to snap a dusk photo of the foreground. I was joined by a fellow photographer and I thought including him in the foreground was somewhat interesting.

I used a basic tripod and intervalometer to automate the session.

35 subs x 10secs each = 5.8 minutes
