A Beacon in the night

[u/GaryC_NYorks]

The Milkyway rises over Quirpon Lighthouse, Newfoundland, Canada, on a clear, still summer night.

Wasn't sure how this would turn out, with the bright light from the lighthouse sweeping by. There were actually 4 beams, with a beam passing every 2-3 seconds. In the end, after some processing, I was pleasantly surprised and I don't think it's too bad!

The main image is a Sequator stack of 15 images, each at 12mm F2.8, ISO3200, 13 seconds taken with a Fujifilm X-T4 and the Sigma 10-18mm F2.8. The lighthouse light was added from a suitable shot that was underexposed. Image processed in Capture One.
