Moonset

I captured this panorama while a quarter Moon was setting. The fading moonlight was still bright enough to lighten the landscape, but also dim enough for the Milky Way to start showing some detail: The Dark Horse is clearly visible, the pink Lagoon Nebula is obvious, not only in the sky but also in the reflection and even the Rho Ophiuchi region has a hint of color. The two heavenly gems trailing the Milky Way band are Jupiter and Saturn.

 

Thanks to my buddy benjaminbarakat for joining me on another crazy last minute hike into unexplored terrain.
