Milky Way - Golden Lake, Ontario

#1

Post by Pitter »

I took these images last week at Golden Lake, Ontario
It was my first time imaging the Milky Way, so I am pretty happy with the result.
Practice makes perfect and I hope to get better at it.

Nice pics Mark! I've been there; just south of Algonquin if I remember right. Was there some years ago, and the skies were unreal. Good for you; seems like you enjoyed yourself! :D

All the best,
Mark
