Hat Rock Milky Way

Milky Way arching over Hat Rock near Mexican Hat in southern Utah.

 

After shooting the image I published in my previous post flic.kr/p/Vx6Y1C, the sky started to clear completely, but unfortunately Milky Way had moved too far to the south for a composition with Hat Rock.

 

I therefore had to move to the other side of the rock formation, where I was able to capture the entire starry arch.

 

While the last clouds drifted over the easterly horizon, the lower parts of the sky lit up with greenish skyglow and orange light pollution from the nearby villages Mexican Hat and Halchita.
