Metate Nights

As I am packing for my June trip to the southwest US, it is time to post another image from last years visit.

 

This is Metate Arch in Grand Staircase-Escalante NM. The night was absolutely clear with some airglow. Together with the Milky Way core and the colorful Rho Ophichui, these were the perfect conditions to capture the beauty of the night sky.
