Stars in Their Courses
Lemon Reservoir and the Milky Way, Durango Colorado
This is a single image, planned with PhotoPills and processed in Capture One Pro. It is a particularly happy memory for me as my family was able to join in the shoot, since the time was relatively early in the night, around 9:30pm. My youngest son went forward in the dark and temporarily shined a light on the closest tree so I could set hyperfocal distance with the spot.
The American Southwest is in the worst drought it has seen in 1200 years. The effects are easy to observe; this reservoir is at its lowest level ever. On the right is Missionary Ridge; you can see the stands of Aspen that survived the 416 fire in 2018, their yellow leaves standing out in the night. Dark areas of the mountainside were burnt and will not recover for many years.
