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

There are probably many ways to remember 2021. To each his own, but at the Cape Charles Mirror, despite it all, we still feel living here on the Lower Eastern Shore is a celebration. One of the best ways to celebrate the Shore is through the lens of photographer Jim Baugh and his most beautiful nightscapes. Jim has spent many long nights under the stars all over the Shore, using nightscape photography to bridge art and science, exposing a dimension of our world we may not have had a chance to see:

Blood Moon historic Lunar Eclipse filmed by JBOTV

Tonight’s historic lunar eclipse was the longest in 580 years. A blood full Moon to boot. Prime time was 3:45 to after 4am. Well… got up at 2am, all gear packed and ready, RAINING! This has happened before. What I learned is when conditions are like this, as long as the weather charts say partial clearing, and the wind is blowing, there is a chance the shoot may be a go. So I drove around at 3 am, headed back home because the sky was pea soup. As soon as I pulled in home, I turned around and gave it another shot, I was up anyway. When I got to the beach I turned round and sure enough, there was a slight break in the sky, there it was. The moon was well on it’s way being shadowed by mother Earth. It was quite a sight. Windy as hell but got the shots. All in all another beautiful night under the eclipsing moon and a few stars above what was mostly a cloudy sky. Yall have a nice weekend. Godspeed, JB
