I'm quickly realizing Imgur are sluts for Milky Way shots :D. While I'm more than just an astrophotographer, you have to feed the beasts!  Here is one of my favorite shots from my guys fishing trip taken last year.

Every year my friends and I go on a fishing trip to Allagash Lake, Maine located in the darkest skies in the east coast. Each year I get shafted with the milky way shots, where either the moon is out bright and mucking up the shot, or it's cloudy af. Last year, I hit the jack pot.

Camera Settings:
Aperture: f/1.8
Shutter/Exposure: 10 seconds
ISO: 3200
Focal Length: 24mm
Camera Used: Canon EOS R

Location: Allagash Lake, Maine
Bortle class: 1
Edited in Lightroom.

Well, the moon is quite predictable far in advance. Clouds less so.

The most impressive place I’ve been personally was the Grand Canyon. So dark. A little spooky. Spectacular night and daytime viewing.

3 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 0

The Grand Canyon was full of fog when I went. So I can say I've been there, but not that I've seen it lol

Wow. I bet that's super rare. Doesn't help for having seen it IRL though
