The photo is edited to remove some of the noise and contrast issues, but yeah, the Milky Way was clearly visible across the sky once the eyes adjusted to the darkness.
Last night’s wx was perfect too. I was able to head down to RI to do some stargazing. First time capturing images like this. The whole summer has sucked for doing anything like this so I’m glad I could make one night work.
The weather was perfect up here last night so I finally got a chance to go to a dark sky location and capture this.
Jupiter also makes an appearance as the brightest “star” in the image.
Considering I literally can’t sleep more than a few hours a night when the basin is hot, I’m trying to rest up as much as possible. Work does not help.
Agree. You can see it on some of the seasonal guidance with a maritime Canada ridge. Classic landfall pattern for the US, specifically the east coast.
Remains to be seen if that happens though. Steering pattern predictions are especially unskilled at this range.
