The night sky on Tracadie Bay, Prince Edward Island

A few weeks ago I stayed at one of our cottages on Tracadie Bay which is on the north shore of Prince Edward Island.  As this location is relatively remote, the skies are largely free of light pollution of Charlottetown.  These shots were made with a Sony A7R2 as well as an Olympus Pen-F.  I also mounted the cameras on a Skywatcher Star Adventurer tracking mount, which allows for exposure times longer that two minutes without deformed stars. 

In one of the shots, comet Neowise is visible just over the cottages.  Click the gallery below to view fullsize.
