The Milky Way over Long Pine Key

The Everglades is a great place to catch the Milky Way. The weather conditions were just right, Clear skies, no moon, cool temperatures and a very light breeze that did not disturb the water surface. The location is the Long Pine Key area in the Everglades National Park. My goal was to try out some new techniques. It’s been a long night, have a nice day!

The Milky Way over Everglades National Park

From Wednesday’s Early morning session. This is the open area with solution holes on the way to the Nike Missile base in the Everglades National Park. The night sky was brilliant. Off in the distance was a strange line. I could not tell what it was at first, but when I zoomed in closer, it turned out to be layers of fog. There is a solution hole in the foreground that I lit up with my flashlight. This milky way image is made up of 10 images that I stacked to remove noise.

The Milkyway over the Everglades National Park

I had to get up around 3am to get to this spot by 4:45am. I caught this image around 5:00am. The moon rise was around 8:00am and the skies were clear. Everything was just right to capture the stars.
