Description

This was my parting shot from our trip to Hawaii on August 4, 2019. Shot taken from the hills along the Kohala Coast on the northwestern part of the Big Island looking out over the Pacific Ocean. The waxing crescent moon was setting over the ocean to the west while the Milky Way and Jupiter were climbing from the South. Quite a sight!

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 15 seconds at ISO-6400. Generated panorama from two shots to get is all in one image using Microsoft Image Composition Explorer.
