Journeys for Knowledge

Okinawa is known for having beautiful scenic vista along its many capes, chief of which is Cape Hedo, the northern most point of the island. Although it is almost a 2 hour drive from my home, the parking lot there provided a convenient base to set up my camera for sunset and night time photography. Out there, light pollution is almost non-existent, leading to stunning views of the Milky Way and accompanying stars.

Unfortunately, capturing these sights is not as simple as pointing a camera and taking a picture, and my initial attempts were only marginally successful. However with new equipment and more experience I will come back and do these night skies justice.
