I've only ever seen Hornby Lighthouse captured at sunrise or sunset, so I thought I'd try capturing the Milky Way rising one night instead.

I had done absolutely no planning for this shot, instead I relied on blind faith and a little bit of luck. I knew I'd be able to capture it by facing east, I just didn't know if it would work from a compositional perspective, so imagine my joy when I saw it all come together!

This particular image is a stack of 16 images to help reduce noise.

There are a couple more photo from this night which I'll post in due course, but I think it's time to take you all to Tassie for the next little while.

I look forward to seeing you there.

The details for this image are:

• Nikon D750 with Nikon 20mm f/1.8G

• Sirui W-1204 tripod with K-20x Ball Head

• 8s

• f/2.2

• ISO4000
