"Back River Milky Way" was photographed in...
"Back River Milky Way" was photographed in February of 2020 on the southern back end of Tybee at the mouth of the Back River.
In this view, the Milky Way can be clearly seen. The brightest looking star along the horizon just above a tree toward the left is actually Jupiter. Up higher and to right, closer to the Milky Way, is a grouping of what appears to be three bright stars in a triangular shape. The lowest one is Mars.
In the foreground are some old pilons from a dock that was washed away during one of the hurricanes. Beyond the pilons is Tybee's Old Fishing Pier. Also in the foreground, you can see my footprints in the sand as I was walking down the beach from the fishing pier to setup my camera in this spot.
I often get asked, "Can you really see the Milky Way at night on Tybee?" or "Does it really look like this at night on Tybee?" My answer is usually.... Yes, you can see the Milky Way, however, it is much darker. I do a long exposure of about 20 seconds to bring everything out brighter, including the foreground. It usually takes your eyes at least five minutes just to get used to the dark and then you can begin to see the Milky Way IF you know when and where to look. Alot of other things have to fall into place also... It needs to be a very clear night with no clouds and no moon.
