Kealakekua stars and moon

Best on black. I did research on photopills re the Milky Way and the bay near where we are staying and it looked as if the arc would be low over the horizontal 4 AM this morning. Jim and I got up early to shoot it but it was nowhere to be seen so I am posting a shot from last night that I took while planning the composition for the morning shoot. I guess I need to learn how to use photopills better!
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

Looks like a very good spot for viewing if it gets high enough. Great capture. BTW, I use Stellarium and it seems to be really good app for locating and getting the times for viewing. It's free for computers. And when you open it, select the web version.

Very nice night shot. This should be great when the milky way does show up.

On black this just sings! Photopills can be very helpful, I used it for the Grand Canyon a great deal but Mother Nature always had the last word. Fav!
