Classic Mauna Kea
After more than a year of effort, I finally was granted a commercial film permit for Mauna Kea. Therefore I can finally legally sell this image, and various other recent ones I haven't posted yet. Also, if you need someone to film timelapse for you on the summit, I've taken care of the paperwork for you already and am available for hire. :-D
This image is taken from the true summit and includes (from left to right) the University of Hawaii 2.2 meter telescope, Gemini, and the Canada France Hawaii Telescope. It is a stack of 16 8-minute exposures, for a total exposure time of just over 2 hours. The color gradient of the sky is (I think) due to air glow.
