Astro-Landscapes at the Beach

We have a chance for some aurora on Sunday night, the 40% moon will set at 10. The location is a Bortle 4, dark enough to see even a fainter northern light, the above photo is from this location, looking north. And if there is no aurora, we still have stars and clouds for trails and streaks.

The tide will be outgoing, which leaves more room for us to spread out and put some interesting rocks in the foreground.

Bring wide to super wide fast lenses, you wan to catch the aurora with an aperture of 1.0 to 2.8, star trails and cloud streaks with 5.6.

If you can't make it to this location, find a dark location looking north. Here is an awesome page with aurora viewing locations in New England.

Parking is tight, make sure not to waste any space and check in with me when you get there.
