Galaxies Near and Far
The Milky Way extends through the middle of this image, accompanied by M31-better known as the Andromeda galaxy (the fuzzy light to center right) and the open star cluster M45-better known as Pleiades (below it and closer to the horizon). Polaris, the North Star is just out-of-frame on the left at about the same height as Andromeda.
This is one frame from a short time lapse I set up in the Bog Brook Preserve area on Maine's Bold Coast. There was quite a bit of airglow present during this shoot. The light pollution on the horizon is coming from Grand Manan Island and other points further Northeast in Maine and Canada. I did some quick light-painting of the foreground rocks with my flashlight. This image has been processed through Lightroom 4 & Photoshop CS5.
The Bold Coast of Maine is a beautiful and rugged area of spruce-fir forest, peat bogs, dynamic rocky cliffs, and cobblestone beaches. Thanks to the Maine Coast Heritage Trust, the Cutler Coast Public Reserved Land & the Bog Brook Preserve are part of the largest contiguous area of conservation land on the Maine coast outside of Acadia National Park.
EXIF data: Nikon D600 - 14-24mm @ 14 - f/2.8 - 30 secs - ISO 6400 - 09/08/13 - 10:31 PM
