Generally it's not good form to disclose specific locations, but I've heard that they have been seen from North Kingstown to Block Island, Newport to Narragansett, and I'm sure elsewhere in the area. Good luck!

Hi, I'm not sure how to add that image in a comment, but of course this is edited to highlight the details and look as natural as possible. I was surprised at the level of detail I achieved here, from one exposure of four minutes. I used a star tracker of course and blended sky and foreground (taken same exact time and place) in PS.

Thank you so much, this perspective is a big reason for my pursuit of the imagery of it. Gaining clarity of what's out there, but at the same time building wonderment of the unknown and finding a sense of place and perspective. 💙 thanks for appreciating

Thanks! I love that region of the night sky, there is so much nebulosity, giving images really nice colors.

Hi, thanks! Although the Milky Way is visible to the naked eye when conditions allow, the camera's long exposures are able to achieve this amount of detail. Pretty wild 🌠😁

Thanks for the correction Pete, enjoy your time out there.

Thank you!

Thanks very much 😁 I like to watch Alyn Wallace on YouTube, he has a great 'What's in the Night Sky' every month. It's not specific to RI but it's a great general guide through the seasons.

Thanks!

Thank you 🌠

Thank you 😁

Thank you! I'm new to reddit so wasn't familiar with that group until now.

Thank you! I shoot with a Fujifilm GFX 100s, and for this image I used a 250mm lens with 1.4x teleconverter.

It was in that general vicinity, yes.

It's part of their migratory pattern, they are often sighted around select areas during the winter around here. Thank you 😁

Thank you 💜

Thank you 😁

Actually I was the only photographer present that morning!

Excellent, yes I was so fortunate to have a colorful morning for this experience 😀 thanks

Wonderful, what a treat!

Thanks, yes it's a snowy owl.
