I had been wanting to film the Milky Way over Cedar Island in July for quite some time. Well, with the folks at the Wachapreague Inn agreeing to host JBOTV for a shoot, and excellent clear sky forecast, and all gear ready and willing, plue a new drone that could get out to Cedar Island easily, this shoot was a go!! A perfect night. All gear worked flawless, light wind, and the sky was endless.

The exposure here was two images totalling 20 minutes of exposure. The Milky Way came out so clean, there was very little to do in post proccessing.The foreground is Cedar Island filmed at 400ft agl from a 48megapixel drone camera.

She takes GREAT images!
