MIlky Way At 13,000 Feet

Hello All. Took this one at Mount Evans, 13,000 feet above sea level. The

silhouette is a Bristlecone tree. Thanks for the comments!

Best regards Paul!

Stunning.... and really interesting! Great work!

Just gorgeous. Makes you remember what the skies were like before we went crazy with security and street lights.

Very dramatic, and the exposure perfect for me.

Paul,

This is a technically well executed image. The use of a short exposure to keep the stars round and the excellent noise reduction resulted in a most delightful looking image.

I am very familiar with the dark sky often seen at Mt Evans, as I have spent time (years ago) doing astronomical survey work with specialized instrumentation.

Best Regards,  Mike

Great shot, Paul.  I can see most of Sagittarius as well as the tail of the scorpion.  Since you had to be looking almost due south to get this one, I am wondering if those are the lights of Colorado Springs to the southeast (Denver being due east and thus out of the picture, I presume).

Do you mind sharing your exposure data with us on this one?

Thanks, and again, great work.
