Last night was one of the clearest nights I've ever seen, probably because of the cold crisp air. The Milky Way was visible to the naked eye as a gigantic gray-white stripe in the sky. My neighbor and I met on the beach to just stare in awe (no camera as I was too lazy and cold) but then, about an hour later I decided I was nuts not to take advantage of the perfect conditions. This is a six-image vertical pano, processed initially in LR, then PS, then back to LR to bring out the definition and color.
Tonight we may have Northern Lights, so fingers crossed! Those would be in the opposite direction.
Another amazing shot. It's been years since I've seen a night sky any where even nearly as clear as this. Takes me back to my childhood and the cottage, in the country, where we used to spend most of the summer.
This is a spectacular image! How wonderful to be able to look at a sky like that. We have too much light where I live now. Hope you get to see Northern lights.
