In order to take photos of the Milky Way and other celestial objects, one needs a dark sky. Two friends and I drove--separately--out to Rappahannock County Park, just out side of Washington, VA, in August--to get some photos of the MW. It's nearly 70 miles from DC, but is probably the closest "dark sky" area for us. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur
Now this is a good shot of the Milky Way. It's just not 1 shot. It is in fact, a panorama of 4 shots, combined. Taken in August at the Rappahannock County Park, just outside Washington, VA., about 70 miles SW of DC ©2020 Henry S. Winokur
