Lassen Nights

While shooting the galactic core, setting behind the glacial erratic at Lassen Volcanic NP (flic.kr/p/DCd1Rb), I was looking the other way and saw winter Milky Way rising, while the headlights of climbers were lighting up the side of Mt. Lassen.

 

I couldn't resist turning my camera around and capturing the scene. Only when checking the images on my screen, I noticed the crazy green airglow, contrasting so beautifully with the deep red Heart and Soul Nebula of Cassiopeia. Also visible, in the top right corner, is Andromeda Galaxy, our galactic neighbor.
