American Barn milky way

[SquarePeg39 1]

Not a ton of detail in the milky way here due to all the light polution from nearby cities but - to be able to get even this less than an hour from Boston was great. Was out there with 2 photo friends on Sunday night but it clouded up right before the mw rose above the horizon. One of them called me last night at 9:30 to say she went back there and skies were clear so I jumped in the car (mw core visibility was to start at 10:30 and needed to catch it early before it was too high up to include the barn). There were some wispy clouds in the way, but all in all I am happy with it. Going to try a stack later to see if I can bring out some more of the mw. Maybe went a bit too far with the noise reduction...

Thanks! Are you a barn fan? I know a lot of photographers are into them. I have a pic somewhere of a half collapsed barn that is pretty cool I'll have to dig it up.

Thanks! Yes we Yanks are very clever

Very nice image.

Thanks. Not far from where you live! This is in North Hampton. I may go back for a sunrise shot before they take the flag down. I read that they put it up on the 4th and take it down a few weeks later so time is running out...

Beautiful image. =]

Thank you.

Last one for today of this one. Tried a stack with Starry Sky Stacker (first time using that software). I think I like the single shot better but what do I know!

Nice.

Thanks.

@480sparky here’s that other barn I mentioned. It was just one of those “saw it from the road and pulled over” snaps. It’s too far away to go back for sunrise or sunset light.

I hate to see barns run down like that, they are such beautiful buildings. Nice image set =]

There is something very photogenic about once loved but now neglected buildings and machinery. Sad yes but also affords good photographic opportunities.
