Milky Way Over Ontario


Photo: Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn

This amazing photo of the Milky Way over Binbrook, Ontario, Canada, was taken by Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn of Weather and Sky Photography:

I was really lucky that the the water was beautiful and still enough so that the stars casted a nice reflection in the water. In this shot you can also see Jupiter, various nebulas in the MilkyWay, Rho Ophiuchus and the light dome from a distant town.

A little photoshoppery is involved, but the photo is outright gorgeous: http://www.weatherandsky.com/main.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=1720&g2_enterAlbum=0 (Don't forget to check out the rest of her work!) - via APOD


I don't quite buy it. Even at 20 seconds the speed of the earth would cause the shadows and such to create streaks across the sky unless you have a tripod that compensates for just that (i.e. tracking).
