Went out this past weekend to a spot along the coast of Maine I found last year, that is fairly free of light pollution compared to most of the surrounding area. Milky Way photos are a little more difficult right now than they are in the summer, mostly just because it's so damn cold and it's only visible for about an hour early in the morning before sunrise starts to wash it out.
First I wanted to both test out how the 50mm 1.8g would be for some night images, and see how the D750 handled super high ISO. This was at iso12,800/ f2/ 8 seconds. Doesn't look too bad! I definitely want to try some more stuff like this with some more interesting foregrounds at 50mm...so much detail in the MW! The green light on the horizon is a ship, I believe
And here's more of a standard shot. 16mm- ISO3200/ f2.8/ 25 seconds for the sky, ISO1600/ f2.8/ 4 minutes for the foreground
here's to another great year of astrophotography!
