This is a very dark spot for astro-landscape photography, Milky Way and star points. The lighthouse no longer has a light and it is a private residence, please respect the owners by not getting close to the building, stay on the trails.

Photography Tips

If timed right, you can shoot the Milky Way with a rising moon coming up right in the middle of the arch. There is also a nearby active lighthouse (the actual Chatham, MA light), which you can see as a bright spot in the arch image.
