I've never seen stars like that in my area. I didn't think it was possible anywhere in Florida, and only associated views like that with less densely populated areas like New Mexico. It's beautiful to see.
Bear in mind, that's with a shutter speed of like 10 seconds or so. But on a night with no moon and your eyes adjusted, it's still quite a sight. I'd really like to get back out there for a meteor shower. I bet that'd be amazing.
My dad would love it. He's been a amateur photographer his whole life but, always thought he'd have to go to Colorado or Alaska to see stuff like this.
Oh, yeah totally. They can be a bit out of the way, but Florida does have its share of Dark Sky Sites.
I have to check this out, thanks for the link.
Welcome. Good luck!
