The mighty Allagash Waterway I had the privilege this past week to partake in a challenging yet rewarding trip via canoe through the many lakes of the Allagash Waterway in northern Maine, USA. Far from city lights and cell phone towers, I was able to take advantage of the astounding dark skies to produce this Timelapse of the Milky Way core. Disappointed by the orientation our campsite offered, I was forced to wade in waist high waters around the shoreline to achieve this placement of my tripod. I also did this during cloudy conditions with the hope that throughout the night the heavens would open wide. When I returned to gather my gear at 2:00am, I was greeted by the bright shining Milky Way core to the west, as well as the rising crescent moon to the east, creating an otherworldly experience that I will never forget. 📸: @Sony Alpha A7III, 24mm GM lens 13 sec, iso 3200, F1.4 #milkywaychasers #milkywayphotography #astrophotography #timelapse #timelapsephotography #galaxy #nightsky #stars #stargazing #allagashwildernesswaterway #exploremaine #nasa #apod #milkywaygalaxy #milkywaywatchers #sonyalpha

This is my second Timelapse that I captured during my trip this past week through the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine. During this night, I witnessed the Milky Way in all it’s majesty form a glowing arc directly overhead as it’s reflection rippled in the gentle lake waters. Such a blessing to have multiple nights of clear skies on a once in a lifetime trip.

Perseids 2023 Although I knew it was the peak of the perseids last evening, the forecast was cloudy before bedtime. However, I awoke around 4am restless and unable to go back to sleep. Checking the weather on a whim, the sky had opened up! I quickly made my way to the backyard with my camera to witness one of the most spectacular astronomical events I’ve ever seen. Multiple meteors per minute shot across the sky. One particularly large one exploded and left a trail of dust that I was able to capture in this Timelapse. Thanks for looking :) Sony A7siii, 24mm GM lens #nightsky #perseids #meteor #shootingstars #stars

I climbed out onto the beautiful red granite rocks by Thunder Hole at Acadia national park to shoot this Timelapse. Although there was more car activity than I had hoped, I hope this Timelapse gives you a sense of the magic of the park at night.

The conjunction Maybe you’ve noticed two bright objects in the western sky in recent weeks just after sunset. You are looking at Jupiter and Venus.
