On one of my trips to Washington, VA in the fall of 2020, I recorded this image of the Galactic Center of the Milky way. Little did I know at the time that this aircraft would fly into the photo (it's a time exposure of around 20-30 seconds at ISO 6400. ©2020 Henry S. Winokur

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
