![]() Most of the trips will start in the evening of the first day with a sunset shoot. In the Fall, the Galactic Core is visible only for a time right after sunset. Whereas, starting in the summer, the Galactic Core is visible right after sunset and throughout the entire night. Additionally, in the Spring, the Galactic Core is visible in the hours preceding sunrise. In the Fall, the Milky Way is more directly overhead…giving it a vertical appearance. In the Spring, the Milky Way is lower in the sky…giving it a more horizontal appearance in your images. Because of all this, I offer most of my night photography workshops between April and September in the few days surrounding the new moon each month. It is also best to photograph stars around the new moon phase so that moonlight doesn’t wash out the stars. ![]() In the months of April through September, the Galactic Core (the most attractive portion of the milky way) is visible for at least a couple of hours each night (assuming that you have clear skies). The Milky Way is visible in the night sky all year long, however we see different parts of the Milky Way throughout the year. Due to limited light pollution, the Outer Banks of NC has some of the darkest night skies in the eastern United States and is an excellent place to photograph at night. Nearly the entire eastern half of the United States suffers from light pollution that prevents people from being able to see many stars at all and certainly not the Milky Way Galaxy.
