New Nightscape Star Trails over Red Bank Eastern Shore of Virginia

New Nightscape! “Star Trails at Red Bank on the Eastern Shore of Virginia”

A MUST visit if you have never been there. Awesome place to view the Milky Way in prime season. I spread my mother’s ashes under that cross. Incredible view for her. Red Bank was the closing timelapse for our Milky Way Film “The Milky Way Galaxy Our Home” As seen from the Eastern Shore. Winner of 4 awards and played 8 film festivals.

First Milky Way Nightscape 2022

New Nightscape 2022: “Yes you can see the Milky Way in February”

In the Nightscape you can see a beautiful shot of Venus below the Milky Way and Mars just above the horizon to the right of Venus. Also good view of the dark horse nebula. This was one of the clearest nights I have seen in a long time, just gorgeous! It was amazing actually, and the ride back over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel heading back to Va Beach with Venus high in the sky and the sunrise below was stunning. One heck of a way to start the day!

The location? Magothy Bay on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. This Nightscape will be up on our gallery soon so check it out.

Photo Info: Cannon 200D / SL2 Sky Tracker Pro equatorial mount, Tokina 11-16MM F2.8 ISO 400 Intervalometer Lens muff with 4 heat packs. Total exposure 12 minutes. 4 three-minute exposures stacked in DSS then lightroom and photoshop.

NOTE: This time of year the Milky Way is low to the horizon so the visibility due to so much atmosphere is not quite as good as later in the year, but its decent.

All I got to say is,

“Hello Milky Way 2022!!”

This may be the first Milky Way Photo on the Eastern Seaboard this year. Weather has been a bear for Astro, but got lucky this time.

Godspeed,

JB
