The Beacon at the Edge

During my August vacation, I finally baged my first lighthouse nightscape. The lighthouse of Punta Palascìa was built in 1867 and is Italy's most easterly point. According to nautical conventions, it marks the point where the Ionian Sea and the Adriatic Sea meet.

 

For this shooting, I met with Angelo Perrone and a few more local nightscapers. Angelo not only is a great guy and one of the best astrophotography teachers in southern Italy, but also an excellent programmer of Photoshop CC plugins for stacking and processing of astrophotos.
