I used Adobe CC to stitch this panorama together. I captured the images while in the Apostle Islands National Seashore in Wisconsin this past September 2019. I was sponsoring a night sky workshop with the Madeline Island School or Arts and we chartered a boat to take up to a few island for sunset shots of sea caves and to be dropped off on an island overnight to capture the northern lights and lighthouses with star filled skies.

We landed on Michigan Island which hold two lighthouses, the "Old" and "New" Michigan Island Lighthouses. We photographed the "Old" Michigan Island Lighthouse facing south with the Milky Way, and then the "New" Michigan Island Lighthouse facing north. The lighthouses are only 100 feet apart from one another. I noticed in editing that the milky way overlapped in these shots and there was a chance they could be put together. I gave it a try and this is the result.

I am really happy with how it turned out, and I am always down for experimenting,

After a couple of hours here, we then beached the boat on a sand spit and photographed the northern lights for the next few hours. What a way to start off the week!
