My whole week of planned Milky Way shots got wiped by a wildfire haze.

The smoke from the Cedar Creek fire rolled into our valley and turned the sky into a flat orange wall for six nights straight. Anyone else in the Pacific Northwest dealing with this and have tips for shooting through haze?

My buddy in Sisters had the same problem last August. He tried a 720nm infrared filter on his old DSLR. Got these crazy, dark skies in the shots but the trees turned bright white. Looked like a ghost forest. He said it was the only way to salvage a week of ruined plans.

Did he ever try a lower wavelength filter, like 590nm, to get more natural looking foliage?
