How is this possible? The light from the light house would have obliterated any light from the Milky Way? This is a composite for sure, but most probably from different places. Unless the photographer managed to switch off the lighthouse for an hour or so.

Cool nevertheless.

Ive taken images like this, and you either have to have the lighthouse turn on for a very short amount of time during the long exposure, or edit it in afterwards and make it a composite. With higher ISO and a really dark environment, you can get shots of the milky way like this in minutes.

The light houe is photographed earlier in the day when it's still a bit light out.

Then the sky is photographed with a motorized mount that moves across the sky (Which would make the lighthouse blurry).

Then photoshop does its magic.
