Rho Rising- This is a limited edition of 8
Built in 1845, Prim Point lighthouse was the first built, and is the oldest lighthouse on the Island. It was a key navigational beacon for visiting ships as they entered the Charlottetown harbour.
On a warm summer evening during the darkness of the new Moon my husband and I paid a night time visit to this splendid lighthouse located on Prince Edward Island. While the moon was absent and the sky dark, this is an operational lighthouse with a lot of light circling around, not to mention someone left the light on inside the little red house. Despite all of this, the glorious summer Milky could be seen rising out of the Atlantic Ocean on this fine summer evening.
Technical details
Milky Way images are a blend of two images take at the the same time at the same location on the same night. Becuase space moves and thea rthe does not, the sky image must be shot with the camera mounted on a specialized sky tracker to keep the star sharp and in forcus. Next the tracker must be turned off, in order to capture a sharp image of the (motionless) earth. Both images are combined in software back in the studio.
Here I used a Nikon Z6ii Astro-modified camera and a wide angle 15mm Laowa lens. Several long exposures of the sky images were aligned, stacked and blended with a foreground image of the iconic Lighthouse
