Description

Being an astrophotographer in Florida is challenging. There are very few truly clear nights here so when I saw a forecast for a clear sky, I decided to take the risk and go to my dark sky spot even though the crescent moon was out. On location I could see that the moon was directly in my planned composition and I expected it to overpower the milky way behind it. To my great delight, my test shot showed that I could indeed capture both the moon and milky way at the same time.
