Spectacularly clear night in West Horseshoe Park, RMNP. The milky way above the Mummy Range was a thrill to observe and photograph. The moon did not rise for another hour. This 8:45pm on 1/20/14 image was the darkest moment of the night. Canon 5Dmk3, Canon 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, f/4, 25s, ISO 5000, lens focal length 24mm. I'm aiming to the NW, which is the darkest part of the sky (least light pollution from the megalopolis).
