My first attempt at a serious panorama of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse provides an ideal location since it faces the right direction to compose such a panorama while maintaining the balance in the image.

This shot is composed of 6 vertical shots shot at 30 degrees of rotation and merged in Photoshop. Added to the usual difficulties of shooting and composing a panorama at night, this night was crazy hot with nighttime temperature in the mid 80s, no breeze and humidity so high that the lens had to be wiped after every exposure. On top of it, the mosquitoes had a field day running rings around me and no amount of bug spray helped. But in spite of all that, I managed to walk away with an image and experience that does appeal to me.

10/10 Excellent

"I finally got to stay here for a night in the off season. I now know why I’ve never been able to book during the busy season lol! The location great, price great, staff friendly, beds comfy, looked newly painted, has a small kitchenette which is great. I don’t have anything negative to say and if I ever plan a trip far enough in advance to book in the summer, I will!"
