Mauna Kea at Night

I feel kinda cheap making myself “Today’s Bacon” but I thought this was a special case.

The night sky on the Big Island of Hawaii is something to see, especially at Mauna Kea. Some of the clearest darkest sky is up there. I took the opportunity to shoot the night sky. You can try and replicate these photos as well.

Camera I used was a Nikon D80
My exposure was set for 30 seconds.
Aperture at f/4.5.
The lens I used was a 10-20mm Sigma lens and the focal length was 12mm.
My ISO was set for 3200 which is ridiculously high but needed to gather what little light was out there.
