Why Did the Milky Way Cross the Road?
Because it's fall! The direction and orientation of the Milky Way changes every month, and by fall it crosses Min Street in Bodie, offering unique compositions in September and October that aren't available when we're in town in May through August.
This was at 9:24 pm, so the Milky Way still had time to move west (right) before we leave at midnight. It's fully dark in Bodie by around 7:45 pm in mid-October, so these are our nights with the most dark sky shooting hours in the park.
In 2017 we have room in our October 13 and 14 sessions.
