This photo was my very first attempt at Astrophotography. Last month, in June of 2020 I made a last-minute decision to drive from Minneapolis up to Split Rock lighthouse to give this a shot. I had done my due diligence, had studied techniques, and on this particular evening, I discovered that it was a perfect night to go give this a shot. I left my house around 7:30 PM to make the 3+ hour drive.
It was pitch dark on my arrival at Split Rock. As soon as I stepped out of my car, I couldn't see my hand in front of my face. It was that dark. But that is what makes this spot such a great astrophotography spot. In the darkness, I made my way out to the beach where I set up for my first shot, which is the one that you are looking at. Ellingson Island is what you see highlighted by the glow from the city lights in Duluth, MN, with the Milky Way appearing in the sky above the glow from Superior, WI.
I hope you enjoy my Milky Way Galaxy art! Feel free to share.
