Nightscape Over Nauset Light

I headed down to Cape Cod during the 4th of July celebrations to try and get Nauset Light with the Milky Way. (t was a gorgeous night. This is a tough lighthouse to photograph because the light wants to wash out the night sky. I had to use a cloth to cover the lens each time the beam swung toward me to avoid blowing out the nightsky, but the red light on the back gave it a definite tint. So, it was on with the cloth, off with the cloth, back on...etc...all why trying to keep the exposure time down so the stars didn't elongate too much.
