The Lookout - Bass Harbor Lighthouse - Acadia National Park, Maine

The Bass Harbor Lighthouse shines through the night sky as the Milky
Way starts to descend.
This was the shot that almost got away. I had this in mind and planned
out well before I had arived in Acadia. Before the Milky Way was in
place on my first visit, the sky was covered by almost the only clouds
I saw all trip. A change in forecast for the night before my drive
back to New Jersey gave me one last chance to capture it. I set up to
take some star trails while waiting for everything to be in position
only to have my battery die moments before I took this. Luckily, I had
a fully charged backup battery in my bag. I ran to grab it, set back
up and started to shoot again. Sitting out under the stars and
listening to the water crash against the rocks was an experience that
words can not do justice. More from Acadia soon.

Amazing! Can someone please post the steps required to do this shot? I would love to try it but fairly new to DSLRs. Nice work - looks like something out of a sci-fi movie!
