My first attempt at a serious panorama of the Milky Way, our home galaxy. Cape Hatteras Lighthouse provides an ideal location since it faces the right direction to compose such a panorama while maintaining the balance in the image.

This shot is composed of 6 vertical shots shot at 30 degrees of rotation and merged in Photoshop. Added to the usual difficulties of shooting and composing a panorama at night, this night was crazy hot with nighttime temperature in the mid 80s, no breeze and humidity so high that the lens had to be wiped after every exposure. On top of it, the mosquitoes had a field day running rings around me and no amount of bug spray helped. But in spite of all that, I managed to walk away with an image and experience that does appeal to me.

'We had a nice stay. Only one hic-up. Our TV didn't work. The staff was very nice and tried to get it to work, but were not able to do so. They were going to send a technician, but it got late and we were tired. We called the desk and told them that we were ok going to bed at that point. They said they would do what they could to give us some kind of discount for not having the TV. Couldn't have asked for anything else.'
