Milky Way taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, taken 6/18/20, about 2:40am. Single 30 second exposure. Looking south at Eagle Cliff Mnt. The glow is from Denver metro.
Backstory: Took the grandkids to Estes Park for the week. I hadn't really planned to do a Milky Way shoot. Woke up the first night about 2:00 for a nature call. I decided to go out to look at the stars. Wow! Clear sky. MW was visible to the naked eye, but too many porch lights and business signs for a long exposure, so I went back to bed. Next night I was too tired to stay up, but decided that if I woke up I'd give it a try. Sure enough I woke up at 1:53, got dressed in the dark, loaded up my gear and headed into RMNP. I knew where I wanted to set up with a view over Moraine Valley looking at Long's Peak. About a 1/4 mile past the entrance gates I was foiled by an all-night road construction crew that had closed the road. Klieg lights bared in my face. Oh well, I turned around and slowly headed back, looking for a possible spot. Now a "happy accident" is that the klieg lights lit up the right (west) side of the mountain. So instead of a silhouette, I got some tree detail. I used hand held lights for some of the foreground trees. I didn't get the shot I wanted, but maybe I got something better? Within an hour I was back in bed.
