Capturing the wonders of Wisconsin’s night sky with astrophotographer Rick Wayne

Wisconsin Life

Photographers tend to spend a lot of time with their subjects. For astrophotographer Rick Wayne of Madison, his subject for much of his life has been space. What started off as an interest in taking better pictures soon became something much greater, a sense of glory. On one clear night, audio producer Alexandra Salmon joined Wayne to take photographs of the night sky at the Yanna Astronomical Research Station in Brooklyn, Wisconsin.
