I found a pathway to the stars and its not too far from home 😀 Aligning the milky way galaxy with particular landscapes can prove challenging since the orientation of our galaxy’s core shifts directions as the months change. Thankfully, in the northern hemisphere, the summer months allow for the best milky way viewing fairly early in the evening. Now if we could just get … Continue reading Pathway to the Stars

Sometimes it’s easy to forget the earth rotates. This is a 10 minute exposure – meaning I set my camera to take … Continue reading Star Trails

Suddenly a bright flash struck above the building across from my apartment. It was so close I felt a wave of heat come through my windows and the loudest crack … Continue reading After the Storm

One of the issues I often run into in Southeastern MA and RI is the amount of noise pollution. The lights from all the cities and towns in the area often plague … Continue reading Milky Way over Buzzards Bay
